Giza, Saqqara, & Memphis Pyramids Tour
Start your tour from Cairo and head towards the Giza Plateau, where your qualified Egyptologist guide will provide a fascinating introduction to each of the three pyramids: Cheops, Khafre and Menakaure.
Have free time to enter one of the pyramids (additional cost), though your guide is not permitted to enter with you or take a camel ride (additional cost).
Continue across the plateau for a photo opportunity of the three pyramids rising from the sands, with the Cairo skyline in the background.
Take a short drive to the city side of the plateau to stand at the feet of the Sphinx, an emblematic symbol of Egypt for thousands of years.
Visit the Solar Boat Museum (optional), home to the remarkably well preserved funerary boat of Khufu in Giza.
Head to Sakkara, home of Egypt's oldest pyramid, built in 2650 B.C. Your Egyptologist guide will provide a brief history of the famous Step Pyramid. Enjoy some free time to walk around.
Proceed to Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt.
See artifacts from many of the great rulers of Egypt, including the fallen statue of Ramses II.
Have the chance to visit a Papyrus Institute to see how famous artworks are made.
