Journey through Egypt’s top landmarks

Start your adventure with an 8:00 AM hotel pick-up from Cairo or Giza in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. Choose between a shared group tour for a social experience or a private tour for a personalized journey. Sit back as your expert Egyptologist guide introduces you to Egypt’s incredible past.

Explore the Giza complex & ride through the desert

Your first stop is the legendary Giza Plateau, home to the Great Pyramid of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. You can walk around the Giza complex, admire the Great Sphinx, and explore the Valley Temple of Khafre, where pharaohs were prepared for the afterlife. If you’ve chosen a 30-minute camel ride upgrade, you can ride across the golden sands with the pyramids in the background.

Learn about the origins of pyramid-building at Saqqara & Memphis

Next, head to Saqqara, the vast burial ground of ancient Egypt. Here, you’ll visit the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the first-ever pyramid, marking a crucial point in Egyptian architecture. Continue to Memphis, once Egypt’s thriving capital, where you’ll see the colossal statue of Ramses II and the Alabaster Sphinx.

See the hidden pyramids of Dahshur

After a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant (with vegetarian options available), continue to Dahshur, a lesser-visited gem. See the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid, early attempts at smooth-sided pyramid construction that paved the way for the Great Pyramids of Giza.

Make your way back home with memories

If selected, a professional photographer will capture stunning photos of your experience. After a day filled with history, architecture, and unforgettable sights, relax on the drive back to your hotel, arriving around 5pm.
