🗺️ Your Journey Through Time

Morning: The Giza Plateau Your day begins with a private pickup from your Cairo or Giza hotel. We head straight to the Giza Pyramids, where your Egyptologist will explain how these massive structures were built without modern technology. You’ll have time to explore the plateau and take a camel ride to the “Panorama” point for breathtaking photos.

Midday: The Great Sphinx & Saqqara After visiting the Sphinx, we drive south to the Necropolis of Saqqara. Here, you’ll discover the Step Pyramid of Zoser, designed by the legendary architect Imhotep. This site is a treasure trove of Old Kingdom tombs with remarkably preserved wall carvings.

Afternoon: Memphis, the City of Kings Our final stop is Memphis, the ancient capital founded in 3100 BC. In this open-air museum, you’ll stand beside the Colossus of Ramses II (weighing 80 tons!) and the beautiful Alabaster Sphinx before we drive you back to your hotel in comfort.

🗣️ Why Choose This Full-Day Experience?

Many tours only show you Giza, but to truly understand Egypt, you must see where it began. By including Saqqara and Memphis, we show you the evolution of the pyramids—from the first “Step” to the “Great” Giza peaks. This tour is optimized for those who want a rich, academic, and comfortable experience without the hassle of navigating Cairo’s busy streets on their own.
