Saqqara Private Tour of Pyramids and Tombs from Giza

This six-hour private tour of Saqqara in Giza offers an in-depth exploration of Egypt’s ancient necropolis beyond the well-known Step Pyramid of Djoser. Guided by an expert Egyptologist, you will visit the tomb of Seshot Idut, the mastabas of Ka-Gemni and Mereruka, and the pyramids of Teti and Unas, where the earliest Pyramid Texts are inscribed. The tour also includes the New Kingdom tombs and the Saqqara Museum, showcasing preserved artifacts, before descending into the Serapeum’s underground galleries housing massive granite sarcophagi of the sacred Apis bulls. Transportation, entrance fees, and a local lunch are included, with pickup and drop-off from accommodations in downtown Cairo or Giza. This tour suits travelers interested in ancient Egyptian history and archaeology who want to experience the full range of Saqqara’s archaeological sites, not just the Step Pyramid of Djoser.
