DAY TOUR TO GIZA PYRAMIDS, MEMPHIS CITY, DAHSHUR, AND SAQQARA PYRAMIDS

Cairo - Begin your journey with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Cairo or Giza by a knowledgeable tour guide.

Pyramids of Giza - The Giza pyramid complex, also known as the Giza necropolis, is a remarkable site in Egypt featuring the Great Pyramid, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, along with their respective pyramid complexes and the iconic Great Sphinx. These structures were constructed during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom of ancient Egypt, around 2600 to 2500 BC. The area also includes several temples, cemeteries, and remnants of a workers’ village.

Memphis and Sakkara - Memphis (Arabic: مَنْف, romanized: Manf, pronounced [mænf]; Bohairic Coptic: ⲙⲉⲙϥⲓ; Greek: Μέμφις), or Men-nefer, was the ancient capital of Inebu-hedj, the first nome of Lower Egypt, known as mḥw (“North”). Its ruins are situated near the modern village of Mit Rahina (Arabic: ميت رهينة), in the Badrashin district of Giza, Egypt. This contemporary name likely originates from the late Ancient Egyptian name for Memphis, mjt-rhnt, meaning “Road of the Ram-Headed Sphinxes.”

Together with the pyramid fields extending over a desert plateau for more than 30 kilometers (19 miles) to the west, including the renowned Pyramids of Giza, they are recognized as the World Heritage Site Memphis and its Necropolis. The site is accessible to the public as an open-air museum.

Saqqara - Saqqara is home to the oldest complete stone building complex known in history, the Pyramid of Djoser, constructed during the Third Dynasty. Sixteen other Egyptian kings also built pyramids at Saqqara, which are now in various states of preservation. High-ranking officials added private funeral monuments to this necropolis throughout the entire Pharaonic period. It remained a significant site for non-royal burials and cult ceremonies for over 3000 years, extending into Ptolemaic and Roman times.

Dahshur - Dahshur, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is located on the Western Desert plateau at the edge of the cultivated plain. Alongside the pyramid complexes at Saqqara, Abusir, and Giza to its north, it forms the pyramid fields of the ancient capital city of Memphis. It is renowned for several pyramids, particularly Senefru’s Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid, which are among the oldest, largest, and best-preserved in Egypt, built from 2613 to 2589 BC.

It serves as a tribute to the ancient Library of Alexandria, once one of the world’s largest libraries, which was lost in antiquity. The idea of reviving the old library emerged in 1974 when a committee established by Alexandria University selected a site for the new library. Construction began in 1995, and after an investment of approximately US$220 million, the complex was officially inaugurated on October 16, 2002. In 2009, the library received a donation of 500,000 books from the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF), making the Bibliotheca Alexandrina the sixth-largest Francophone library globally.

Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa - The Catacombs of Kom El-Shoqafa consist of tombs on three levels and include the Tri-cilium, where relatives would sit on stone benches to honor the deceased. The center features reliefs of bearded serpents, and inside are 2nd-century AD statues of Sobek and Anubis adorned in Roman armor.

Mosque of Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi - The Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi Mosque (Arabic: جامع أبو العباس المرسي) is a historic mosque in Alexandria. It is named after the 13th-century mystic Abu’l Abbas al-Mursi, who is interred there along with members of the Ashraf family.
