Tour Details

Begin your unforgettable journey into ancient Egypt in the morning, when your professional Egyptologist tour guide and private driver will pick you up from your hotel in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. Your day tour takes you deep into the heart of Egypt’s earliest civilization.

Your first stop is Saqqara, the vast necropolis of Memphis and one of the most important archaeological sites in Egypt. Here, you will explore the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the world’s first large-scale stone structure. Built around 2650 BC by the legendary architect Imhotep, this remarkable pyramid set the blueprint for all future pyramids and stands as a milestone in human architectural history.

After exploring Saqqara, you will enjoy a relaxing lunch at a local restaurant, where you can taste traditional Egyptian cuisine and recharge for the rest of your journey (drinks not included).

Next, continue to Ancient Memphis, the first capital of unified Egypt and the coronation city of the pharaohs during the Old Kingdom. Founded by King Narmer, Memphis once stood at the heart of Egypt’s political and religious life. During your visit, you will see the impressive colossal statue of Ramses II, carved from pink granite and weighing over 80 tons, along with other fascinating relics from this legendary city.

At the end of your tour, your guide and driver will escort you back to your hotel, leaving you with unforgettable memories of Egypt’s earliest monuments and timeless history.

Saqqara pyramid

There we will see one of the first pyramids built, which served as a model for all those that were built later. The step pyramid of Zoser has a rectangular base and is about 60 meters high, and was part of a ceremonial complex built around 2650 BC for the Pharaoh Zoser by Imhotep, the most famous Egyptian architect.
Then Proceed to have your lunch at a local restaurant.

Lunch
At the end of the visit to Giza pyramids, we will take a break and take the opportunity to eat and recharge. Lunch will be at a restaurant and Egyptian food (drinks not included).

Ancient Memphis Egypt
After Saqqara, we will undertake the last part of our excursion. We will head to Memphis, capital of the Old Empire between 3100 and 2040 BC, and the coronation site of all the pharaohs of the Empire.
According to tradition, Memphis was founded by Narmer, considered the first pharaoh. The city is located in the Nile Delta, right between Upper and Lower Egypt, the two regions into which the country was divided. In 1820, a huge statue of one of the most famous pharaohs, Ramses II, who ruled from 1279 to 1213 BC, was found in the Great Temple of Ptah near Memphis. The colossus, carved from pink granite, is more than 11 meters high and weighs more than 80 tons. For a time it was located in the center of Cairo, but erosion seriously damaged it and it was moved to Memphis, where it is exhibited in a covered area, to protect it.

After the tour, we will take you back to the hotel.
