What To Expect

Memphis and Sakkara
Day Tour Sakkara, Memphis & Dahshur

Your guide for the day will pick you up and begin your guided tour with a drive through the countryside to Sakkara to see the Step Pyramid - the first pyramid to be built and the surrounding monuments. Your guide will give you a detailed history on Imhotep, the Egyptian architect who created this pyramid and how he accomplished this major undertaking.

When we finish exploring this area we will visit the Pyramid of Teti with its inscribed texts, and several private tombs.

Following is a visit to the open air Museum at Memphis where the Colossus of Ramses the II, the largest statue of Ramses the Great can be seen in the place where it was discovered, see the Alabaster Sphinx alongside.

After that we will go to the South of Saqqara which stands the pyramids of Dhashur (Dahshur).

4 hours • Admission Ticket Not Included

Pyramids of Dahshour
The Red Pyramid and the Bent Pyramid are about 2 km south of the Mastaba Faraoun. The constructor of these pyramids is thought to have been Snofru (2575 - 2551 BC), who was the first ruler of the 4th Dynasty.

Snofru built these two pyramids and is thought to have built the pyramid at Maidoun. His son was Cheops who continued his constructive tendencies.

On the way back to Cairo we will stop at a local school of carpet making where you will see the local nimble-fingered children weaving carpets and wall hangings.

At the end of the day transfer you back to hotel.

Everything was perfect....

Everything was perfect. Would recommend. Convenient way to see these historical sites without having to worry about how to get from one place to the other.
The perfect half day trip from Cairo

Alba (guide) and Assem (driver) were so incredibly kind! From the pick up to the drop off I leaned so much! I was given plenty of time to climb through pyramids or wander around the grounds. We stopped for snack part of the way though. We went for no pressure shopping to learn about carpet weaving and papyrus art. Both Alba and Assem are more than kind making sure I was comfortable temperature wise and engaging me in conversation between stops. I can not recommend them more!
Dia maravilhoso

Eu e minha filha amamos nosso primeiro dia no Egito com um passeio maravilhoso, cheio de surpresas muito interessantes, de tirar o folego! Graças ao exvelente guia Samir que nos conduziu a Menphis, Sakara, Dashur e um almoço delicioso. Muito competente, paciente e educado ... alem de ser muito divertido. Obrigada Samir!
Alright

Red and Bent pyramids were both super cool. Wasn't so interested in the Step pyramid and didn't like being bombarded with requests for tips at every turn there. The Memphis museum just felt like a tourist trap. My driver was very friendly and a nice guy, just wish the sights had been a little more substantive.
