Overview

This private tour takes you back more than 4,000 years to the origins of pyramid building and royal power in Egypt. You will visit Memphis, the first capital of unified Egypt, where you can see the impressive colossal statue of Ramses II and learn about the city’s role in early state formation. At Saqqara, you will explore the site of the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the world’s earliest large-scale stone structure, and hear how architects and rulers began to shape monumental stone architecture. Later you will travel to Dahshur, a quiet desert complex where the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid show the evolution of pyramid design. Along the way an expert Egyptologist will explain the historical and cultural context, helping you understand how these sites connect to the roots of Egyptian civilisation. The experience is relaxed and informative, and includes lunch and comfortable private transport.
