Giza Pyramids, Memphis & Sakkara Day Tour from Cairo
Tour overview
Overview
Trace the birth of the pyramid across a single, unforgettable day. This private full-day tour links three chapters of ancient Egypt — the Step Pyramid of Sakkara where pyramid-building began, the vanished capital of Memphis, and the mighty Pyramids of Giza where the art reached its peak — all with an expert Egyptologist to connect the story.
After a private pickup from your Cairo or Giza hotel, you'll travel to Sakkara to stand before the Step Pyramid of Djoser, Egypt's oldest stone monument. Next comes Memphis, the Old Kingdom capital, now an open-air museum home to the colossal statue of Ramses II and the great alabaster sphinx. After a relaxed lunch, you'll finish at the Giza Plateau with the Great Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure, the legendary Sphinx and the Valley Temple.
It's the most complete way to understand the pyramids — private, comfortable, with lunch, entrance fees and transfers all included and no surprises at the gate.

- The Step Pyramid of Djoser at Sakkara — Egypt's first pyramid
