Pyramids of Giza, Memphis and Saqqara Itinerary

We'll pick you up from your hotel in the morning and head towards Giza, located 20 kilometers from Cairo.

Upon arrival, we will have three hours to see the Sphinx and the three largest pyramids built for the pharaohs Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure.

At lunchtime, we will enjoy a typical menu that includes grilled chicken kebabs, vegetables, hummus, tahini, Arabic bread, sweet pastries, and fruit salad.

After lunch, we will proceed to the Saqqara necropolis, where you can see the pyramid of Djoser, the first of Egypt's great pyramids.

In Saqqara, we will also visit the tomb of vizier Mehu, recently opened to the public, known for its well-conserved hieroglyphs.

Our final stop will be Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt, featuring the 83-ton, 11-meter-tall sculpture of Ramses II and the Alabaster Sphinx.

The tour will conclude back at your hotel after 8 hours.
