Recharge with a tasty lunch at a reputable local restaurant.

In the afternoon, head to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), the newest and most expensive archaeological museum in the world. Discover a dazzling collection of pharaonic artifacts spanning Egypt’s dynastic periods. 

Highlights include statues of powerful kings, intricate jewelry, ceremonial items, and daily-life artifacts from the Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms. The museum’s cutting-edge exhibits and architectural grandeur offer a modern lens into Egypt’s ancient soul.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch

After breakfast, meet your expert Egyptologist guide and embark on a fascinating full-day journey tracing the origins of pyramid construction in Egypt.

Your exploration begins at Saqqara, the ancient necropolis of Egypt’s earliest dynasties. Here, marvel at the Step Pyramid of King Djoser, the world’s first monumental stone structure, designed in the 27th century BCE by the legendary architect Imhotep. Its revolutionary stepped design laid the foundation for the grand pyramids that followed.

Next, continue to Memphis, Egypt’s first capital, founded by King Narmer around 3100 BCE. Although much of the ancient city has disappeared, its open-air museum offers extraordinary treasures, including the colossal statue of Ramses II and the finely crafted Alabaster Sphinx.

Conclude your day at Dahshur, a captivating site less frequented by tourists but rich in history. Here you will encounter the Bent Pyramid, famous for its unusual change in angle, and the Red Pyramid, Egypt’s first true smooth-sided pyramid and the third largest in the country.

After completing this remarkable tour of Egypt’s early architectural wonders, you will be transferred directly to Cairo International Airport for your departure flight.
