Saqqara & Memphis Day Tour

Hotel Pickup

First, your Saqqara Memphis Day Tour begins with pickup from your hotel in Cairo or Giza.

Meet your professional Egyptologist guide and travel to Saqqara in a comfortable private vehicle. The exact pickup time will depend on your hotel location and travel date.

Saqqara and Step Pyramid of Djoser

Next, explore the ancient necropolis of Saqqara.

Visit the Step Pyramid of Djoser, one of the most important monuments at the site. It was built during the Third Dynasty and is recognized as the earliest known Egyptian pyramid and the oldest known major stone structure in Egypt.

Your guide will explain the story of King Djoser and the architect Imhotep. You will also learn how the Step Pyramid helped shape later pyramid design.

Depending on your selected package, you may also visit additional tombs or monuments at Saqqara. Entrance to some areas requires separate tickets.

Memphis

After Saqqara, continue to Memphis, the ancient city that became an important center of political and religious life in Egypt.

Visit the Memphis open-air museum and see its collection of ancient remains. You can also admire the famous colossal statue of Ramesses II and other monuments from the area.

Meanwhile, your guide will explain the importance of Memphis and its connection with the surrounding necropolis.

Return to Cairo

Finally, leave Memphis and travel back to Cairo or Giza.

Your driver will drop you off at your hotel after the Saqqara Memphis Day Tour.
