Day 01

Saqqara, Dahshur and Memphis Pyramids Tour

Connect with your tour guide, who will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo or Giza, and head to Saqqara to begin the tour.
See the Step Pyramid of King Zoser (Djoser), considered one of the most well-structured pyramids. The Step Pyramid is composed of mastaba layers stacked on top of each other, giving it its shape today.
Then move to King Unas Pyramid and climb inside it to see the design of the pyramid from within.
The next stop is at the Bent Pyramid, constructed in Dahshur for King Senefru. The Bent Pyramid is a unique structure because of its bent shape, and much of its original limestone still remains.
Lastly, proceed to Memphis, the old capital of Egypt. The most impressive feature in Memphis is the 34-foot-long statue of King Ramses II.
At the end of the day, return to your hotel.
