Your day begins with a comfortable pickup from your hotel by a modern, air-conditioned group vehicle. Meet your professional licensed Egyptologist guide, who will be your companion throughout the day. During the drive, your guide will introduce the ancient Egyptian timeline and explain how these three sites—Memphis, Saqqara, and Dahshur—represent the foundation of pyramid building and ancient Egyptian civilization.

ancient city of Memphis, founded around 3100 BCE by King Narmer (Menes), who united Upper and Lower Egypt. Though little remains of the original city due to time and Nile floods, the open-air museum here offers a look at some stunning remnants.

Next, we drive a short distance to Saqqara, one of Egypt’s most significant archaeological sites. Saqqara was used as a royal and elite burial ground for over 3,000 years.

Our first stop is Dahshur, a lesser-visited but historically critical site south of Cairo. Built during the reign of Pharaoh Sneferu (father of Khufu), the Dahshur Pyramids showcase the evolution of pyramid architecture.

After a day of time-traveling through Egypt’s early dynasties, your group returns to your hotel. Expect to be back by mid-afternoon, with unforgettable memories and incredible photos of pyramids less traveled.
