Pyramids of Giza, Memphis and Saqqara

At the scheduled time, we’ll pick you up from your hotel in Cairo and head to Giza, located about 20 km (12.4 mi) from the Egyptian capital. Once in Giza, you’ll enjoy a guided tour to explore the Great Sphinx of Giza and the three largest and most iconic pyramids in Egypt, built for the pharaohs Cheops, Khafre, and Menkaure. If you're comfortable in enclosed spaces, you’ll have the option to enter the pyramids on your own. After visiting the pyramids, we’ll return to your hotel in Cairo, where this 3-hour activity will conclude.

At the scheduled time, we’ll pick you up from your hotel in Cairo and head to Giza for the same guided tour of the Great Sphinx and the three pyramids, as described in the half-day option. At lunchtime, we stop to enjoy a typical menu, which includes, among other dishes, delicious grilled chicken kebabs with vegetables, hummus, tahini, and Arabic bread. For dessert: sweet pastries and a refreshing fruit salad. Then, with the energy to face the afternoon, we'll make our way to the Saqqara necropolis, one of the most important links we have to the history of ancient Egypt, where, amongst other things, you can see the pyramid of Pharaoh Zoser: the first of Egypt's great pyramids. In Saqqara, we will also visit one of the noble tombs of the necropolis. Our final stop will be Memphis, the old capital of Egypt, a real open-air museum where you can see, among other monuments, the impressive sculpture of Ramses II and the Alabaster Sphynx. The tour then ends back at your hotel after 8 hours.
