Giza Plateau, Saqqara and Dahshur Exploration

  • Receive a warm welcome as your guide meets you and transfers you from the hotel to the Giza Plateau.

  • Visit the impressive 3 Pyramids of Kings Cheops, Chephren and Menkaure, guarded by the rock-cut statue of the Sphinx. The Great Pyramid of King Cheops is the only wonder of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still standing today, although it is 2,000 years older than any other world wonder on the list.

  • Witness the Complex of Saqqara, which belonged to King Zoser, and his Step Pyramid, considered the first pyramid in Egypt and the first rock-cut building in history.

  • Head to Dahshur. The Bent Pyramid is the second funerary monument of King Senefru's complex after the Meidum Pyramid. The Red Pyramid, Senefru's third funerary monument, is the first successful true (straight-sided) pyramid ever built.
