Explore Saqqara, Memphis & the Red Pyramid on a Private Tour

Your day begins with a hotel pickup in Cairo or Giza in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle. With your professional Egyptologist guide, you’ll head south of Cairo to discover the roots of pyramid building.

At Saqqara, you’ll explore the Step Pyramid of King Djoser—the very first pyramid ever built, designed by the genius architect Imhotep. Wander through the vast necropolis, admire intricately decorated tombs, and get up close to hieroglyphs and carvings that are thousands of years old.

Next, travel further into the desert to Dahshur, a hidden archaeological treasure. Here you’ll visit Pharaoh Sneferu’s two iconic pyramids: the Bent Pyramid, with its striking change in angle halfway up, and the Red Pyramid, the first true smooth-sided pyramid. You’ll even have the chance to enter the Red Pyramid and stand inside its massive inner chambers—an unforgettable experience.

Throughout the tour, your guide will share fascinating insights into ancient Egyptian history, beliefs, and architecture. After a journey through 4,500 years of history, you’ll be comfortably transferred back to your hotel with memories of Egypt’s earliest wonders.
