Itinerary

Start your journey with a Giza Pyramids Tour, where you’ll stand in awe before the majestic Great Pyramid of King Khufu (Cheops), the largest and most iconic of all the pyramids. Continue to the Pyramid of King Khafre (Chephren) and the Pyramid of Menkaure (Mycerinus), all built during Egypt’s Old Kingdom. Just nearby, you'll witness the mysterious Sphinx and the Valley Temple, where the ancient Egyptians practiced their mummification rituals.

For a more immersive experience, you can take an optional 30-minute camel ride across the Giza Plateau for a small additional fee, offering stunning panoramic views and unforgettable photo opportunities.

After a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, your pyramid tour continues south to Saqqara, home to the world’s first pyramid—the Step Pyramid of King Djoser. This pioneering structure, built by the architect Imhotep, marks the earliest large-scale stone construction in history. You'll also explore the nearby Saqqara highlights, including the Pyramid of Teti and the richly decorated tombs of Saqqara’s nobles, providing rare insights into ancient Egyptian life and beliefs.

From Saqqara, travel just 20 minutes to Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt. Visit the open-air museum where you’ll admire remarkable artifacts like the colossal statue of Ramses II and the Alabaster Sphinx—one of the largest of its kind.

After a full day exploring Egypt’s most treasured sites, Egypt Tours will escort you comfortably back to your hotel, wrapping up a truly unforgettable experience.
