We start our trip with the drive to the
Pyramids of Giza
On the outskirts of the metropolis of
Cairo are the three great world-famous
Pyramids of Giza, one of the
Cairo attractions that every visitor of
Egypt should have seen. After arriving at the
Giza Plateau, at the foot of the great
Cheops Pyramid with the middle
Khafre Pyramid and the smaller
Pyramid of Menkaure, you will feel the fascination that emanates from this necropolis, a masterpiece of antiquity, built more than 4.000 years ago as a tomb for the pharaohs.
Most people already know the mighty
Sphinx with the body of a lion and the head of a human from photos, guarding the
Pyramids of Giza and the
Valley Temple. YOU have the chance to see the
Great Sphinx of Giza up close before we leave the
Giza Plateau for a lunch break and then continue our tour to the 20 kilometers away
Memphis, capital of Egypt in antiquity
During the reign of the Pharaohs in
Ancient Egypt, the city of
Memphis was the capital of Egypt. She fell apart long before the current capital
Cairo was founded and housed countless pyramids that are much older than the
3 Pyramids of Giza. One of the most famous pyramids in the are is the
Saqqara
build by
Djoser, also called
Step Pyramid by Djoser. For more than 3.000 years,
Saqqara was a place of worship and a necropolis for numerous kings and still one of the most important tombs of
ancient Egypt along with Cairo and
Luxor. A so-called
open-air museum with numerous graves, mastabas, pyramids, catacombs and mortuary temples was created on this field, divided into north and south Saqqara.
We make our way to the northern part of the necropolis where the famous
Saqqara Step Pyramid – Step Pyramid of Djoser
is located, considered to be the early stage of
pyramid construction and maybe answers some of your questions that came up while visiting the
3 Pyramids of Giza. Our Egyptologist will explain some more about the stone construction of the
Step Pyramid of Djoser, made of six layers of stacked stones of different sizes up to a height of around 62 meters. A contrast to the construction of the world-famous
landmark of Egypt in Cairo.
To this day, archaeologists from all over the world agree that
Saqqara still hides many undiscovered graves. During your visit, you might come across one or the other teams of archaeologists looking for the "undiscovered" while visiting this impressive tomb.
After an exciting tour at the
Saqqara necropolis, we make our way back from our
Egypt Pyramids Tour to your accommodation in
Cairo.
