Tour Itinerary

Enjoy an interesting journey with our detailed itinerary for the Cairo Airport Tour to Memphis, Saqqara, and Dahshur. To begin with, this wonderful trip will start with picking up our guests from the airport and driving them in a private car with air conditioning to see the following amazing places:

Firstly, Saqqara Step Pyramid: Imhotep, the genius architect and primary vizier for King Djoser, built the step pyramid, between 2670 BC and 2650 BC, to be the oldest and largest cut-stone tower in the world and the first pyramid complex of this type.

Secondly, Memphis City: The dream of their cherished civilization, starting in the 31st century BC as the first metropolis in Egypt and the lifeblood of the two countries. Lying some 20 kilometers south of Cairo, it was situated from the ancient ruins of the previous monarchy.

Egyptian Meal is provided

Finally, Pyramids of Dahshur: The entire region of Dahshur is a huge royal necropolis only 40 kilometers (25 miles) south of Cairo, notable for housing some of the world’s largest, oldest, and best-preserved structures dating from 2613 to 2589 BC. Some of the most well-known pyramids in Dahshur include the Bent Pyramid of Pharaoh Sneferu, dating from 2613 BC-2589 BC, the Red Pyramid dating from 2575 BC-2551 BC, and the Black Pyramid of Amenemhat III dating from 1860 BC-1814 BC.
