Overview

Explore Egypt’s ancient wonders beyond Giza on this full-day trip to Sakkara, Memphis, and Dahshur. Discover the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the Red and Bent Pyramids, and the statues of Ramses II — all with a private Egyptologist guide and comfortable air-conditioned transfers.

Step back into Egypt’s ancient past with a full-day tour of Sakkara, Memphis, and Dahshur, three of the country’s most historically significant archaeological sites.

Begin your journey at Sakkara, where you’ll see the Step Pyramid of King Djoser — the world’s first large-scale stone structure, built over 4,700 years ago. Your guide will explain how this architectural marvel became the foundation for later pyramids.

Continue to Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt and once the seat of power for Pharaohs of the Old Kingdom. Explore the open-air museum, home to the colossal statue of Ramses II and the majestic Alabaster Sphinx.

Your final stop is Dahshur, where you’ll visit the Red Pyramid and the Bent Pyramid, both built by Pharaoh Sneferu. These sites are quieter than Giza, offering a peaceful and atmospheric look into ancient pyramid design.

After exploring, relax during your private transfer back to your hotel in Cairo or Giza.
