Itinerary

In the morning, we'll pick you up from your hotel in a private, air-conditioned vehicle to kick-start your incredible tour. We'll begin by visiting the Saqqara Pyramid complex, an ancient necropolis near Memphis. Here, you'll get to explore the Step Pyramid of Djoser, one of the earliest pyramids ever built, dating back to around 2650 BC. 

After we visit Saqqara, we'll pause for lunch at a local restaurant to recharge before continuing our journey.

Next, we'll head to Memphis, the capital of the Old Kingdom of Egypt and the ceremonial center for the coronation of pharaohs. According to tradition, Memphis was founded by Narmer, Egypt's first pharaoh. This ancient city, located in the Nile Delta between Upper and Lower Egypt, holds immense historical significance.

During our visit to Memphis, we'll explore its archaeological sites, including the Great Temple of Ptah, where a colossal statue of Ramses II was discovered in 1820. This statue is carved from pink granite and weighs over 80 tons.

After our tour concludes, we'll ensure your safe return to your hotel, marking the end of an enriching day exploring Egypt's ancient treasures.
