Tour Highlights:
The tour begins with one of the world’s most iconic monuments: the Pyramids of Giza. Built over 4,500 years ago, these ancient wonders are a testament to the ingenuity and power of ancient Egypt. Your private guide will tell you the fascinating history of the three major pyramids: the Great Pyramid of Cheops, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure. You will also have the opportunity to visit the legendary Sphinx, the colossal limestone statue that guards the pyramids, and learn about the myths and mysteries that surround it.
From Giza, your journey continues to the necropolis of Saqqara, home to the Step Pyramid of Djoser. This pyramid is recognized as the world’s first large-scale stone construction and represents a remarkable leap in ancient engineering. Built during the Third Dynasty for the pharaoh Djoser by his architect Imhotep, it marked the transition from simple mastaba tombs to the great pyramids that followed. At Saqqara, you will discover the ingenuity of ancient Egyptian architecture and the sacredness of this ancient burial site.
Next, you will visit Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt, located near present-day Cairo. Founded by King Menes around 3100 BC, Memphis was an important political and cultural center for centuries. At its peak, it was the most significant city in Egypt. Today, it is a fascinating open-air museum where you can admire the ruins of this once thriving city, including the huge, well-preserved statue of Ramses II and the magnificent Alabaster Sphinx.
After a morning filled with exploring historical monuments, you will enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant. This meal offers the opportunity to savor delicious authentic Egyptian cuisine while reflecting on the day’s adventures.
