Private Saqqara, Memphis and Dahshur Day Tour with Egyptologist Discount Tickets

Overview

Stand before the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the oldest stone monument on earth, with hardly another tourist in sight. This private day tour trades the Giza crowds for three quieter wonders, each brought to life by your own licensed Egyptologist. At Saqqara, you'll trace where pyramid-building began. In Memphis, the fallen colossus of Ramses II and the great alabaster sphinx mark Egypt's first capital. At Dahshur, you can walk up and touch the Bent Pyramid and Red Pyramid of Sneferu, the experiments that made Giza possible. The 4,600-year-old stones are right there under your hand. It's just you, your guide, and an air-conditioned vehicle with hotel pickup. No shopping stops, no rushing, no shared coach. You set the pace while your guide fills in the stories behind the stone. Ideal for history lovers and anyone who wants the deeper, calmer side of ancient Egypt. You'll leave understanding how the pyramids really came to be.
