Saqqara Pyramid
3 hours
Arriving at the Saqqara necropolis complex, your certified Egyptologist guide will lead you to the Step Pyramid of King Djoser - the oldest stone structure in the world.

Dahshur Bent & Red Pyramid
2 hours
Next, you'll head to the quiet and less-crowded necropolis of Dahshur, where your guide will walk you through two of Egypt’s most unique pyramids: the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid. You’ll learn why the Bent Pyramid has its unusual shape and how the Red Pyramid became the first true smooth-sided pyramid - a critical step toward the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

Memphis and Sakkara
1 hour
Your final stop is the ancient city of Memphis - once the capital of the Old Kingdom and the heart of ancient Egyptian power. In the open-air museum, your guide will introduce you to stunning relics, including the massive fallen statue of Ramses II and the beautifully carved Alabaster Sphinx. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of Egypt’s royal legacy and religious life.
