Day Tour To Giza Pyramids, Memphis And Sakkara

Pyramids of Giza - Begin your journey with a pickup from your hotel to visit the Giza pyramid complex, also known as the Giza necropolis. This site in Egypt features the Great Pyramid, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, along with their associated complexes and the Great Sphinx. These structures were built during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom of ancient Egypt, between 2600 and 2500 BC. The area also includes several temples, cemeteries, and the remains of a workers’ village.

Great Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu) - Khufu’s pyramid complex includes a valley temple, which is now buried beneath the village of Nazlet el-Samman. Although diabase paving and nummulitic limestone walls have been discovered, the site has not yet been excavated.

Khafre’s Pyramid - The complex of Khafre’s pyramid features a valley temple, the Sphinx temple, a causeway, a mortuary temple, and the king’s pyramid. Several statues of Khafre were found in a well in the floor of the valley temple by Mariette in 1860.

Pyramid of Menkaure - Menkaure’s pyramid complex includes a valley temple, a causeway, a mortuary temple, and the king’s pyramid. The valley temple once housed several statues of Menkaure. During the 5th Dynasty, a smaller ante-temple was added to the valley temple.

Great Sphinx - The Sphinx dates back to the reign of King Khafre. In the New Kingdom, Amenhotep II dedicated a new temple to Hauron-Haremakhet, which was later expanded by subsequent rulers.

Saqqara (Sakkara) Pyramids - Continue your tour to Sakkara, located just 27 km southwest of Cairo. Visit the Step Pyramid, built for King Zoser, which is considered a significant step in the evolution of pyramid construction, transitioning from simple mastabas to the more recognized pyramid form.

Memphis and Sakkara - Proceed to Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt, where you can see the colossal statue of Ramses II and the great Alabaster Sphinx. This city dates back to 3100 BC. At the end of the tour, you will be transferred back to your hotel.
