After a delicious breakfast at your accommodation, you will start your wonderful Day Tour to the Pyramids of Giza & Saqqara by meeting your private tour guide in a private A/C vehicle to begin exploring these iconic ancient wonders:
Giza Pyramid Complex
Begin with the majestic Giza Pyramids, where you’ll gaze upon the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the slightly smaller Pyramid of Khafre, and the more slender Pyramid of Menkaure. Your expert guide will bring these colossal stone tombs to life, explaining the architectural brilliance, the purpose of the mortuary temples, and how these pyramids have stood for millennia. You’ll also visit the Great Sphinx, carved in the shape of a lion with a royal face, guarding the plateau and steeped in mystery and symbolism.
Saqqara – Step Pyramid of Djoser
Next, travel to the vast necropolis of Saqqara, home to the earliest large-scale stone structure in human history: the Step Pyramid of Djoser. Designed by the legendary architect Imhotep, this layered pyramid marks the dawn of pyramid building. Walk through the surrounding complex — its courtyards, ceremonial buildings, and enclosure walls — feeling transported to an ancient era of innovation and ritual.
Lunch
Break for a delicious lunch at a local restaurant close to the sites, enjoying authentic Egyptian cuisine — think flavorful mezze, fresh salad, hearty grilled meats or vegetarian dishes, warm flatbread, and seasonal sides. This pause gives you time to rest, absorb the desert atmosphere, and reflect on the morning’s wonders.
After these awe-inspiring visits, we will return you to your accommodation to relax and reflect on a truly unforgettable day surrounded by the most ancient and powerful monuments of Egypt’s past.
