Private Giza Pyramids, Memphis & Sakkara from Hurghada

Overview

Trace the birth of the pyramid across a single private day — all the way from the Red Sea. This tour links three chapters of ancient Egypt: the Step Pyramid of Sakkara where pyramid-building began, the vanished Old Kingdom capital of Memphis, and the mighty Pyramids of Giza where the art reached its peak — with your own Egyptologist and vehicle throughout.

We'll be honest about the day: Cairo is around five to six hours from Hurghada by road, so this is a very early start with real driving on both ends. But you travel privately in a comfortable, air-conditioned car, set the pace yourself, and enjoy the undivided attention of your guide. You'll stand before the Step Pyramid of Djoser, Egypt's oldest stone monument; visit Memphis with its colossal statue of Ramses II and great alabaster sphinx; and finish at the Giza Plateau with the Great Pyramids, the Sphinx and the Valley Temple.

Private transfers, an expert guide, lunch and entrance fees are all included — and there's no obligatory shopping detour, just three extraordinary sites and a day shaped around you.

Highlights:

• The Step Pyramid of Djoser at Sakkara — Egypt's first pyramid
• Memphis open-air museum: the colossus of Ramses II and the alabaster sphinx
• The Great Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure
