Overview

Discover the origin of the pyramids on a unique full-day excursion to Saqqara, Memphis and Dahshur, three of the most important places in Ancient Egypt and much less crowded than Giza. In Saqqara you will visit the Step Pyramid of Zoser, the first pyramid in history. In Dahshur you will explore the stunning Red Pyramid and Elbow Pyramid, where true pyramid architecture began. Finally, in Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt, you will know its monuments and colossal statues. This excursion is ideal for those who want to understand the evolution of the pyramids, enjoy a quieter atmosphere and live an authentic experience away from the crowds. It includes comfortable transportation, professional guidance and enough time at each site to explore and take photos without rush. An essential experience for history lovers and travelers looking for something different from traditional routes.
