Private Day Tour
Cairo day trip to Saqqara, Memphis & Dahshur
Trip overview
Cairo day trip to Saqqara, Memphis & Dahshur
Begin your Cairo day tour with a visit to Saqqara, where you will explore the Zoser Step Pyramid, renowned as the oldest pyramid ever constructed. The next stop on your Cairo day trip and Cairo Egypt day tours will be Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt. You will come into contact with the monument of that distinguished general, the statue of Pharaoh Ramses II. Continue traveling to Dahshur to see the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid, the first evolution of pyramids, and a key highlight of many Memphis and Saqqara tours included in Excursions in Cairo.
This Egypt tour is probably the best in its combination of ancient Egyptian architecture and history, accompanied by a highly qualified Egyptologist.
