Tour Itinerary

With a warm greeting from our Egypt Tours Destination professional Egyptologist tour guide, you will start your luxury hassle-free day tour trip. Once you start your tour, our guide will give you a complete introduction to our Egyptian history Start your tour by visiting the site of Saqqara Literally, it is the most important ancient cemeteries all over ancient Egyptian history. Most likely, the name of the location derived from Sokar, the god of this necropolis. Saqqara is a true open-air museum, featuring artifacts from every period of ancient Egypt's history. Starting from the predynastic period to the Greco-Roman area this is also the location of the Step Pyramid of Djoser (c. 2686-2667 BC) the oldest stone edifice in human history, which was built by Imhotep, the vizier, in the 27th century BCE under the Third Dynasty. The pyramid is the focal point of a massive funeral complex, set in a vast courtyard surrounded by ceremonial buildings and decorations. then move to Memphis the capital of upper and lower Egypt kingdoms and is considered the oldest administration capital in the world. The temple of God Path that was built there was the largest temple in the world until the 4th century AD, although only a small portion of the original temple survives today. The temple is famed for its huge figure of King Ramses II, which is the largest one-piece monument unearthed in Egypt to date. Continue your excursion by seeing the Alabaster Sphinx statue of Memphis, which was most likely built for the famed queen Hatshepsut. The Alabaster Sphinx is considered the second largest sphinx statue in the world after the Great Sphinx in the Giza plateau, and many remnants of the old temple can still be seen. end your tour by visiting Dahsour city is a one-of-a-kind sight; it is one of the few ancient sights where you feel as if you have traveled back in ancient times. At Dahsour, you can only hear the silence of the tombs as it is far in the middle of the desert a remote location with few tourists. Begin your tour in Dahsour city by visiting the Bent Pyramids, the first attempt to build a pyramid in history. King Senfru decided to build a pyramid, but with no experience, he began to build this pyramid with the angle of 54 D, but they discovered it would be too high if they continued with the same angle, so they changed it to 45 D, causing the shape of the pyramid to bend. The bent pyramid is especially well-known for its magnificent limestone outer casing, which has survived to this day, as well as the unusual plan of the inside inner corridors, which will be an unforgettable experience to go inside and explore. Then proceed to the Red Pyramid, which is known to be the first true pyramid in history. It is called the Red Pyramid because it was covered with a layer of reddish limestone that regrettably no longer exists. You can also enjoy touring inside the inner passages of this pyramid. then stop to enjoy a Local Egyptian Traditional Lunch drive back to your hotel
