Enjoy a fascinating journey through ancient Egypt’s hidden gems with your own private Egyptologist guide, brought to you by Egypt Excursions Online. Your day begins with hotel pickup in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle, followed by a scenic drive to Dahshur, located about 35 kilometers south of the Giza Pyramids.

Dahshur served as a royal necropolis during the Old Kingdom, and here you'll visit the two famous pyramids of King Sneferu, the founder of the 4th Dynasty and father of King Khufu, builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Discover the architectural evolution from the Bent Pyramid, a result of an early construction miscalculation, to the successful and smoothly angled Red Pyramid, which you'll have the chance to enter and explore from within.

Next, head to Memphis, the first capital of unified Egypt, founded by King Menes around 3100 BC. Wander through the open-air museum and marvel at colossal statues and ancient relics that reflect the grandeur of Egypt's earliest dynasties.

Continue to Sakkara, home to Egypt’s oldest pyramid complex and the vast necropolis of Memphis. Visit the iconic Step Pyramid of King Djoser, the first monumental stone structure in history, and explore the beautifully decorated Mastaba tombs of nobles and high officials.

After a day immersed in Egypt’s ancient history, you’ll be comfortably returned to your hotel in Cairo.
