About this tour
Thirty kilometres south of Giza lies the vast necropolis of Saqqara, where the architect Imhotep stacked six stone platforms to create the world's first pyramid. Around it, the tombs of royal officials are decorated with some of the liveliest scenes of daily life in all of Egypt.
On the way, stop at Memphis, the first capital of united Egypt, to see the giant statue of Ramses II and the alabaster sphinx. A perfect morning for anyone who loves history — or who has already seen Giza.
