Your one-day adventure begins when your Egyptologist meets you at your Cairo or Giza hotel and drives you to the legendary plateau of the Pyramids of Giza. You’ll explore the mighty tombs of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure—monuments built to last millennia and still standing as testaments to ancient ambition. Next, travel to Saqqara, the necropolis of the Old Kingdom and home to the world’s oldest large-scale stone structure, the Step Pyramid of Djoser. Wander among painted tombs and silent mastabas that reveal the earliest chapter of pyramid building. Finally, visit the ancient capital of Memphis, where you’ll stroll an open-air museum filled with colossal statues, including a fallen colossus of Ramses II, and learn how this city once governed an empire. With private transport, expert guiding, entry to all major sites and lunch included, you’ll delve deep into Egypt’s pyramid-filled landscape and leave with a richer understanding of how pharaohs built their legacies in stone.
