Pyramids of Giza, Memphis & Saqqara Private Day Tour from Cairo

Pyramids of Giza, Saqqara and Memphis in One Private Day

See the three great sites of ancient Memphis on this private Pyramids, Memphis and Saqqara tour from Cairo. With your own English-speaking Egyptologist guide and an air-conditioned vehicle, you visit the Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx, the Step Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara and the open-air museum at Memphis, the first capital of united Egypt. Because the tour is private, you decide how long to spend at each site.

What you will see

• Pyramids of Giza: the pyramids of Khufu (Cheops), Khafre and Menkaure, built in the 4th Dynasty around 4,500 years ago. The Great Pyramid of Khufu is the last survivor of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. After the visit, you stop at the panorama point for the classic view of all the pyramids together.
• The Great Sphinx: the lion with a human head carved from the bedrock of the Giza Plateau, usually linked to King Khafre, next to his Valley Temple.
• Saqqara: the vast royal cemetery of Memphis, where the architect Imhotep built the Step Pyramid for King Djoser around 2650 BC. It is the oldest of Egypt’s pyramids and one of the earliest large buildings made of cut stone.
• Memphis (Mit Rahina): the capital of Egypt for much of the Old Kingdom. In the open-air museum you see the colossal statue of Ramses II lying on its back, the alabaster sphinx and other finds from the ancient city.
