Private Tour: Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Memphis, Saqqara

Start your private tour with a hotel pickup in Cairo or Giza, and travel by air-conditioned minivan to the Giza Plateau. Head into the site with your Egyptologist guide and marvel at the pyramids. Tue considered Giza Plateau is one of the most enduring prehistoric monuments in the world. It houses the three great pyramids (those of Cheops, Khafre and Menkaure) and at least six others, as well as several other important monuments, including the Great Sphinx and the Valley Temple.

Giza Sphinx carved from an outcrop of natural rock, augmented by shaped blocks around the base, added during repeated renovations from the 18th Dynasty onwards.

Saqqara is one of the richest archaeological sites in Egypt. Its monuments span 3,000 years, from the earliest ancient Egyptian funerary structures to Coptic monasteries. The centerpiece of the Saqqara necropolis is the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the prototype for the pyramids of Giza and all other pyramids that followed.

Then, you will visit the ancient city of Memphis, which was the main hub for commerce, trade, and religion. The Memphis remains did contain the largest limestone statue of the Pharaoh Ramses II. As you enjoy this citadel your guide will reveal to you the Famous story of Memphis as told in Greek history. Alexander the Great being crowned as a pharaoh in the Temple of the creator god, Ptah. Your day trip finishes with a drop-off back at your Cairo or Giza hotel.
