About this activity

Travel back over 4,000 years on this private tour to the ancient treasures of Memphis, Saqqara, and Dahshur — the origins of pyramid building and royal power in Egypt. Discover Memphis, the first capital of unified Egypt, and see the impressive colossal statue of Ramses II. Continue to Saqqara, home of the famous Step Pyramid of Djoser, the world’s earliest large-scale stone structure. Then head to Dahshur, a peaceful desert site where the Bent Pyramid and Red Pyramid reveal the evolution of pyramid design. Led by an expert Egyptologist, this tour uncovers the roots of Egyptian civilization in a relaxed and informative way, with lunch included and comfortable private transport.
