Day Tour to Saqqara, Memphis & Dahshur Itinerary:
Your Saqqara, Memphis & Dahshur Day Tour from Cairo begins with a comfortable pick-up from your hotel in a private A/C vehicle. Accompanied by your expert Egyptologist guide, you’ll set off to explore some of Egypt’s most remarkable ancient sites.
Saqqara Step Pyramid:
Step into history at the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the world’s very first pyramid built in the 27th century BC. Designed by Imhotep, this six-tiered structure revolutionized Egyptian architecture and became a model for future pyramids. Saqqara’s necropolis also reveals fascinating mastabas and burial complexes that bring the Old Kingdom alive.
Memphis City:
Next, travel to Memphis, the capital of Egypt’s Old Kingdom, founded by King Menes around 3100 BC. Once the cultural and political heart of Egypt, Memphis was dedicated to Ptah, the creator god. Today, its open-air museum houses colossal statues, sphinxes, and relics that highlight the city’s 3,000 years of influence.
Pause for a delicious Egyptian lunch at a high-quality local restaurant before continuing your Cairo day tour with the desert pyramids of Dahshur.
Pyramids of Dahshur:
Explore the Bent Pyramid and Red Pyramid, both masterpieces built by Pharaoh Sneferu (father of Khufu). The Bent Pyramid shows the evolution of pyramid design, while the Red Pyramid—Egypt’s first successful true pyramid—still radiates its red limestone glow. These pyramids stand quietly in the desert, away from the crowds, offering a unique and unforgettable experience.
At the end of your Dahshur, Memphis and Saqqara Day Trip from Cairo, you will be comfortably transferred back to your hotel.
