A representative from Cairo Top Tours will meet you at your hotel or any location in Cairo or Giza to escort you in a private vehicle as you embark on your Cairo Day Tour to the Dahshur and Saqqara Necropolis and the sacred tomb at Meidum. Your journey begins in Dahshur, where you will witness the first true pyramid, the Red Pyramid of King Snefru, the father of King Cheops, the creator of the famous Great Pyramid of Khufu at Giza. You'll also visit his Bent Pyramid at Dahshur, which was his second attempt to construct a full-sized pyramid, resulting in its distinctive bent shape due to an overly wide base.
Next, you'll see the Meidum Step Pyramid, also built by Snefru, one of the earliest pyramids in Egypt. After a delicious lunch, the tour continues to Saqqara Necropolis, the oldest and most historically rich site, where you'll witness the first tomb built entirely of stone—the Step Pyramid of King Djoser. You will also visit the site where pharaohs celebrated the Heb-Sed festival every 30 years, and explore the Pyramid of Teti from the Sixth Dynasty, alongside the tomb of Ka-Gemni, his son-in-law, where you'll admire the beautifully preserved carvings depicting scenes of daily life.
*Please note, if you book this Cairo Day Tour from the airport, there will be an additional charge for a drop-off at Cairo International Airport as part of our Cairo Layover Tours.
