The special and experienced tour guide of Cairo Top Tours will welcome and join you to begin your day tour of the Giza Pyramids, Memphis, and Sakkara. You will have the chance to witness the most renowned Egyptian pyramids such as the Great Pyramid of King Khufu Cheops, as well as the second pyramid of the 4th pharaoh of the 4th dynasty, King Khafra Chephren, and the last pyramid constructed in the Giza Necropolis for King Menkaure Mycerinus.
The pyramids in the Giza Necropolis are all from the Old Kingdom. After that, we will visit the Great Sphinx and the Valley Temple, which was constructed by King Chephren for the preservation of his body. You will be taken to the Giza Scenic Plateau to capture photos and, if you wish, take a 30-minute camel riding tour at Giza Plateau for an additional fee of 200 Egyptian pounds.
After you have finished having your lunch, you will be taken to visit the Step Pyramid of King Zoser and one of the most remarkable structures in the world at Sakkara, which is the largest archaeological site in Egypt, to gain knowledge about how pyramids were built in ancient Egypt.
King Djoser Pyramid at Saqqara, belonging to the third dynasty, is revered as the oldest monument created by humans, constructed entirely of stone. Visitors can also take in a panoramic view of the nearby Dahshur pyramids, including the Bent Pyramid and red pyramids constructed by King Senfru, the father of King Cheops. Additionally, one can gain insight into ancient Egyptian daily life by exploring the pyramid of Teti and the tombs of Saqqara's nobles without purchasing an extra ticket.
Afterwards, you'll be taken to the historic city of Memphis, located just 20 minutes from Sakkara, to explore the outdoor museum. Here, you can view ancient relics and statues from the pharaohs' former capital, such as the impressive alabaster sphinx, carved from an immense 80-ton block of marble, and the statue of Ramses II.
After finishing your day tours in Cairo from the airport, you will be escorted back to your hotel.
We offer a variety of tours to Egypt's top tourist destinations. If you're travelling on a budget and only have time for a Cairo stopover tour, we have affordable options available that will still provide a wonderful experience. Additionally, we offer Cairo day tours from the airport, and you can even get directly from Cairo airport to the pyramids.
