You will explore the site, walk around the pyramids, and capture unforgettable photos from different viewing points.

Your next stop is Sakkara, home of the Step Pyramid of King Djoser, the earliest large-scale stone structure ever built. Here, you will explore the ancient necropolis and learn how pyramid construction first began, long before the classical pyramids of Giza were developed.
End your tour with a visit to Memphis, the first capital of ancient Egypt. The open-air museum features impressive statues, including the famous colossal statue of Ramses II, as well as a variety of artifacts that reflect the early history of the Egyptian kingdom.
