Your Itinerary

  • 1) Day Tour to Giza Pyramids Saqqara and Dahshur

    Our tour guide will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo or in Giza at 8:00 am and get ready for your Private day tour to the Pyramids of Giza with a Private tour guide
    First, you will visit the Great Pyramid of Giza (also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or the Pyramid of Cheops ) is the oldest and largest of the pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex. It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one to remain largely intact.

    The great pyramid was built as a tomb for the Fourth Dynasty Egyptian pharaoh Khufu and estimated that it was built in the 26th century BC during a period of around 27 years. Initially standing at 146.5 metres (481 feet), the Great Pyramid was the tallest man-made structure in the world for more than 3,800 years. Throughout history, the majority of the smooth white limestone casing was removed, which lowered the pyramid's height to the present 138.5 metres. What is seen today is the underlying core structure. The base was measured to be about 230.3 metres (755.6 ft) square, giving a volume of roughly 2.6 million cubic metres (92 million cubic feet), which includes an internal hillock If you wish to visit the burial chamber of King Cheops . You can ask the tour guide to buy it for you it costs 400 l. E per person( 26$ per person)


    Then we will visit the Pyramid of Chephren or Khafre. This r is the second-tallest and second-largest of the 3 Ancient Egyptian Pyramids of Giza and the tomb of the Fourth-Dynasty pharaoh Khafre (Chefren), who ruled c. 2558−2532 BC


    Then we will the Pyramid of Mykerinus.


    Enjoy a Panoramic View of the 3 Pyramids of Giza

    We go head to visit the Valley Temple of king Chephren. While doing that you can have a closer look at the Great Sphinx - the legendary guardian that stands by the huge funeral complex with its lion body and the head of king Chephren.
    Move to visit the Step Pyramid at Sakkara, which is considered the world's oldest major stone structure. It was built in the 3rd Dynasty for King Djoser.


    Then Proceed to have your lunch at a local restaurant. After that transfer to Dahshur: Dahshur: Two of the later pyramids constructed here have been completely destroyed by time, and the elements and several others, such as the Black Pyramid (12th Dynasty, 1929-1885 BC), are badly damaged, but Dahshur also boasts two of Egypt’s best-preserved early pyramids. Both built during the reign of King Sneferu (2613-2589 BC), the founder of the 4th Dynasty, the Bent Pyramid, and the Red Pyramid at Dahshur are massive evidence of the architectural development that lead to the construction of the Great Pyramid and its companions at Giza.

     

Frequently Asked Questions

The most efficient order is: start at Giza Pyramids and Sphinx in the morning (furthest north), then drive south to Saqqara for the Step Pyramid, then continue south to Dahshur for the Bent and Red Pyramids. This chronological approach also mirrors the historical evolution of pyramid building from Sneferu to Khufu.

Saqqara is the oldest and largest pyramid complex in Egypt, containing over 20 pyramids spanning 3,000 years of Egyptian history. The highlight is the Step Pyramid of Djoser — the world's oldest monumental stone structure. Unlike the well-touristed Giza plateau, Saqqara is often quieter and more atmospheric, with tombs, temples, and ongoing excavations.

Yes, entrance fees to Giza Plateau, Saqqara, and Dahshur are all included in the tour price. Optional extras such as entering the inner chambers of the Giza Pyramids or the pyramid interiors at Dahshur carry an additional charge, but these are completely optional.

It is a full and rewarding day, typically 9–11 hours. We cover the highlights at each site without rushing, and include a lunch break. Most guests feel satisfied rather than overwhelmed. If you prefer more time at each site, we recommend a 2-day version or splitting Giza into a separate day.
