Arrival: The Ancient Necropolis of Saqqara

Your Saqqara and Memphis half-day tour begins when your private Egyptologist greets you at your hotel in a late-model luxury vehicle. We drive directly to the sprawling necropolis of Saqqara. Here, you will stand in awe of the Step Pyramid of Djoser, exploring the surrounding colonnaded courtyards and learning about Imhotep, the genius architect behind this revolutionary monument.

Exploration: The First Capital, Memphis

After immersing yourself in the tombs of Saqqara, your private driver will escort you to the nearby ruins of Memphis. Founded by King Menes over 5,000 years ago, it served as the first capital of unified Egypt. You will encounter the breathtaking colossal statue of Ramses II and the beautifully carved Alabaster Sphinx before enjoying a smooth, comfortable transfer back to your accommodation.

Includes VIP logistical support and complete itinerary flexibility. Modest, comfortable attire recommended.
