Private Day Tour Visit Sakkara Pyramids, Memphis and Dahshur

At the scheduled pickup time, your expert tour guide will collect you from your hotel to begin a fascinating full-day journey to Egypt’s most important ancient capitals and pyramid fields. Start your tour in Memphis (Menefer), the ancient capital of Lower Egypt and one of the most significant cities in the Old Kingdom. Founded around 3100 BC, Memphis served as Egypt’s political and religious center for centuries. Today, explore its open-air museum, where you can admire impressive statues and relics, including the colossal statue of Ramses II.

Continue to Saqqara, home to the legendary Step Pyramid of Djoser—the oldest large-scale stone structure in history. Built in the 27th century BC during the Third Dynasty for Pharaoh Djoser, this revolutionary six-tier pyramid marked a major turning point in ancient Egyptian architecture and pyramid construction. Saqqara later became a vast necropolis for royalty and high officials for over 3,000 years.

End your tour in Dahshur, one of Egypt’s most important experimental pyramid sites. Here you will see the famous Bent Pyramid, built by King Sneferu, which represents the transitional phase from step pyramids to smooth-sided pyramids. The site provides valuable insight into the architectural advancements that eventually led to the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza. After completing your exploration, relax as you are comfortably transferred back to your hotel.
