About this tour
This is the day that makes sense of the Pyramids. Instead of seeing Giza in isolation, you follow the story from its beginning: the experimental Step Pyramid at Saqqara, the royal capital of Memphis, and finally the perfected giants of the Giza Plateau.
Your licensed Egyptologist meets you at your hotel and stays with you all day, adapting the pace to you. At Giza you visit the three Pyramids, enjoy the classic panoramic viewpoint, and walk down to the Sphinx. After a relaxed Egyptian lunch, you continue south through palm groves to Memphis, home of the colossal Ramses II, and to Saqqara, where the architect Imhotep built the first pyramid around 4,600 years ago.
It is a full but comfortable day, in your own air-conditioned car, with time for photos and questions at every stop.
