The first tomb that the ancient Egyptians constructed in the form of a pyramid is located in Saqqara, and you will see it after being picked up from your hotel by our tour guide in the morning. The Step Pyramid was created by the astute architect Imhotep and constructed for King Djoser, the first monarch to have a step pyramid built for him, during Egypt's third dynasty.
Visitors can explore King Teti's pyramid, which was built during the old kingdom, as well as the pyramids of the first monarch of the sixth dynasty. The group also visits King Unas' pyramid, which has the most spectacular burial chambers of any pyramid (no extra ticket is required).
Visiting one of the Saqqara Mastaba Tombs of the Nobles will allow you to experience daily life in ancient Egypt, replete with all of its activities and numerous tomb passageways.
After lunch at a local restaurant in Saqqara, you will be taken to the Memphis Museum to see the alabaster sphinx, which is the second-largest sphinx statue from ancient Egypt and is made from an 80-ton block of marble. You will also see the enormous limestone statue of King Ramses ll of the nineteenth dynasty, the greatest builder and ruler of the New Kingdom, as well as other exhibits.
Last but not least, you will be escorted to Dahshur, one of the most intriguing ancient Egyptian archaeological sites, where you will see King Senfru's pyramids and hear about the history of the pyramids ( the old kingdom). The Red Pyramid is the highest building in the Dahshur Necropolis, while the Great Pyramid and Khafra's Pyramid are the two greatest ancient Egyptian pyramids. The Bent Pyramid, Snefru's second pyramid, will also be visited by you. The ancient Egyptians did not call this pyramid the "Bent Pyramid," but rather "Sneferu is Shining in the South" or "The Southern Shining Pyramid."
Following this breath-taking journey, which you may have experienced as part of your Cairo or Giza day excursions, you'll be taken back to your lodging in Cairo or Giza.
