Overview

This private experience takes you beyond the Giza Plateau to explore Saqqara, Dahshur and Memphis. You’ll visit Saqqara, home of the Step Pyramid, and head on to Dahshur, known as the birthplace of the true pyramids. Along the way you’ll explore Memphis and its monuments, and get a rare opportunity to enter the Red Pyramid — one of the most impressive and less crowded pyramids in Egypt. A private Egyptologist guide will accompany you at a relaxed pace so you won’t feel rushed. As you move through each site you’ll learn about the development of pyramid architecture and the stories behind these ancient monuments. The experience includes a short camel ride and an authentic Egyptian lunch. The trip is designed to avoid tourist traps and forced shopping stops, offering a more personal and less crowded way to see Egypt’s early royal necropolises.
