Memphis, Sakkara & Dahshur Experience

1. Morning Pickup: Begin Your Historical Adventure
Start your day with a morning pickup from your hotel in Cairo or Giza. Your private driver and Egyptologist guide will take you in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle to explore some of Egypt’s most important archaeological sites. As you drive, your guide will share insights into the history and significance of the destinations ahead.

2. Explore Memphis: The Ancient Capital of Egypt
Begin your exploration at Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt during the Old Kingdom. Founded around 3000 BC by King Menes, Memphis was a center of culture, religion, and politics. Visit the Open-Air Museum, where you’ll see the majestic Colossus of Ramses II and the Alabaster Sphinx. Your guide will narrate the fascinating stories of Memphis’s past and its influence on Egyptian civilization.

3. Discover Sakkara: The Step Pyramid and More
Next, head to Sakkara, home to the Step Pyramid of Djoser—the world’s oldest large-scale stone structure and the precursor to all other pyramids. Designed by the architect Imhotep, this pyramid marked a turning point in Egyptian architecture. Explore the surrounding complex, including the Pyramid of Unas and the Mastaba tombs. Your guide will explain the importance of these structures in the development of pyramid building and Egyptian burial practices.

4. Marvel at Dahshur: The Bent and Red Pyramids
Continue your journey to Dahshur, an ancient royal necropolis known for its experimental pyramid designs. Visit the Bent Pyramid, a unique structure with a change in angle that reflects early innovations in pyramid construction. Then, see the Red Pyramid, the world’s first true smooth-sided pyramid, which paved the way for the construction of the Great Pyramid at Giza. Your guide will highlight the architectural significance of these pyramids and their role in ancient Egypt.

5. Return to Your Hotel: Reflect on a Day of Discovery
In the afternoon, begin your journey back to Cairo or Giza. As you travel, reflect on the incredible ancient sites and cultural experiences you’ve encountered throughout the day. Your driver will drop you off at your hotel, marking the end of your Memphis, Sakkara & Dahshur Experience.
