Itinerary
Step 1
Start your adventure at the Saqqara Necropolis, home to the world-renowned Step Pyramid of Djoser. As one of the oldest pyramids in Egypt, the Step Pyramid is a marvel of ancient engineering and a precursor to the more famous pyramids of Giza. Explore the extensive burial complex, including tombs and mastabas, and learn about the early innovations in pyramid construction.
Proceed to Memphis
the ancient capital of Egypt during the Old Kingdom. Visit the open-air museum where you’ll see the colossal statue of Ramses II and the alabaster sphinx. Memphis was a center of political and cultural power, and its ruins provide invaluable insights into Egypt’s ancient civilization.
Step 3
Next, head to Dahshur, a significant archaeological site known for its impressive pyramids. Explore the Bent Pyramid, famous for its unique angle, and the Red Pyramid, the first successful attempt at creating a true pyramid shape. Dahshur offers a quieter and less crowded experience compared to other pyramid sites.
Step 4
