Venture beyond the Giza Plateau on this full-day tour to the royal necropolis of the Old Kingdom. Visit the open-air museum of Memphis, the first capital of unified Egypt, admire the Step Pyramid of Djoser at Sakkara, and marvel at the true-pyramid form of the Red and Bent Pyramids at Dahshur. This tour offers a deeper understanding of how pyramid building evolved over time, with far fewer crowds than Giza.
After pickup from your hotel, drive to Memphis to explore the open-air museum with its colossal statue of Ramses II. Continue to Sakkara to see the Step Pyramid and the nearby tombs, then travel to Dahshur to admire the Red and Bent Pyramids from the desert plateau. Return to your hotel in the late afternoon.
Dahshur is home to the Red and Bent Pyramids, the earliest true pyramids ever built, and receives far fewer visitors, making for a more peaceful experience.
Lunch is not included, but your guide will be happy to recommend an authentic local restaurant and can arrange a stop on request.
