Tour Price : $175 Duration : 8 hours Languages: English, Arabic

Most private tours in Egypt focus on discovering the ancient pyramids. And this particular offer isn’t an exception, as it includes the exploration of all the ancient landmarks located in the capital area. You probably know that there is way more than the famous necropolis located in Giza. With this tour you’ll visit nearly all of the ancient sites and dive into the atmosphere of eternal mystery that is so strong and captivating in these places.

Our tour starts in the morning and takes us to the Giza complex. If you want to enter inside the Great Pyramid of Giza, the tour will start a bit earlier, as the access is limited and available only in the early morning. We’ll explore all of the three Great Pyramids, and the smaller ones located nearby. Besides, we’ll visit the Great Sphinx of Giza and other structures of the complex, such as the Valley Temple and the Sun Boat of Khufu.

Then we continue our journey through the ancient monuments with a visit to the Saqqara complex. This place is much older than the Giza Necropolis, and features several older pyramids, including the Stepped Pyramid of Djoser, which is a great exhibit of the older building techniques used in the construction of these ancient colossal tombstones. We’ll also enter the remnants of Teti’s Pyramid, which is heavily deteriorated from the outside, but well-preserved from the inside, featuring ancient writings.

Our final stop will be the city of Memphis, which was established over 5,000 years ago and served as the capital of the ancient kingdom for centuries. Today, located in a few miles south of Cairo, this ancient city features the numerous remains of its former glory. Numerous temples, statues and fragments of buildings are scattered all over the place, while new artifacts are being found every now and then in the silent sands covering the area.
