Highlights
  • Pyramids of Giza - Begin your tour at 8 am with a pickup from your hotel by your private, qualified Egyptologist in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle.

Head to Saqqara to explore the Step Pyramid of King Zoser and its complex. The Step Pyramid, constructed for King Zoser, the founder of the Third Dynasty (circa 2700 B.C.), was designed by Imhotep, the first architect in recorded history, and is the oldest stone structure in existence.

Next, visit the exquisite tomb of Kagemni (circa 200 B.C.) and marvel at the impressive Pyramid Texts inside the pyramid of Teti. Proceed to Memphis, the first capital of ancient Egypt (circa 3200 B.C.), to view its ruins and visit the museum, which houses the colossal statue of King Ramses II and the enormous alabaster sphinx.

Continue to Dahshur to see the Bent Pyramid (the initial attempt at constructing a true pyramid) and the Red Pyramid (the first true pyramid in history), both built by King Snefru, the founder of the Fourth Dynasty and father of King Cheops (circa 2600 B.C.). You will have the opportunity to enter the Red Pyramid.

Enjoy lunch at a high-quality restaurant with views of the Sphinx and the pyramids. Finally, head to the Giza plateau to witness the Great Pyramid of King Cheops (circa 2500 B.C.), the pyramid of Chephren, and the pyramid of Mycerinus. Ascend the plateau to the panorama for stunning photographs. Your adventure continues with a 30-minute camel ride around the pyramids, followed by a visit to the Valley Temple and the Sphinx, before being transported back to your hotel.

Day Tour Success - My favorite part was how our guide Sherif had my partner and I completely at ease while we enjoyed a wonderful day out in Sakkara and Dahshur exploring the original pyramids. He was willing to answer any questions, point out keen details at the sites, and facilitate any requests to ensure we had a great, knowledge filled, experience. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to feel at home with a knowledgable, Egyptian guide.

If you have no many time for sightseeing - I was in Egypt in the business trip and wanted to cover most of interested places near Cairo in short time. For this reason I have taken this tour to have a look as much as possible in one day. My guide Sheriff was polite and courteous. He has told about sightseeing and answers for all questions. We had the crossover car with driver. Sometimes road's was in bad condition but it was comfortable to transfer between places. I would recommend this tour when you have no time, like me and want to see many different places in one day. Sherif and team! Thank you very much! I have enjoyed this day!

Next Time In Cairo - We have learned that the problem with Special Trips' duty to complete our tour, "Full-Day Guided Private Tour to Pyramids of Giza, Dahshur Sakkara and Memphis" as planned was caused by miscommunication between the vendor and viator. With having the wrong vendor's telephone number it was impossible to correct many events. Taking all these factors in consideration, as well as, the full refund by this vendor, our rating as to working with this vendor is a 5. Even though we did not do this tour, we hope someday to return to Cairo and do this tour. Mary
