Day 01
Giza Pyramids, Sakkara and Ancient Memphis
- Cairo's full-day tour lasts 8 hours and runs daily from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, with pickup from your hotel in Cairo or Giza by a Packnfly Tours guide.
- Start your Giza full-day tour by visiting the Giza Pyramids, where you will see the Great Pyramids of Giza - Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinos - and then continue to the Valley Temple. This is the place where the priests mummified the dead body of King Chephren, owner of the second pyramid on the Giza Plateau.
- You will also have a close-up look at the Sphinx, the legendary guardian that stands beside the massive funerary complex with its lion's body and the head of King Chephren. Time spent here is approximately 2.5 hours.
- Lunch is optional between visits at local restaurants and is based on a full meal for each person. Then continue your day tour to Sakkara, located only 27 km southwest of Cairo.
- Visit the Step Pyramid, built for King Zoser. It is considered an important part of the process of pyramid evolution, developing from the simple mastaba to its widely known form. Time spent here is approximately 2 hours.
- Then continue your day tour to Memphis City, the ancient capital of Egypt, where the colossal statue of Ramses II and the great Alabaster Sphinx are located. This city dates back to 3100 B.C. Time spent here is approximately 1 hour.
- At the end of the tour, you will be transferred back to your hotel. There is also the possibility of entering any of the pyramids from inside, riding a camel around the Giza Pyramids, or riding a quad bike in the wide desert, but all of these activities can be added during the booking process and require additional fees.
