Learn about the foundations of ancient Egypt on this Cairo day tour to Memphis and Saqqara, two of the most important historical sites in Egypt. You can start your Egypt tours by visiting the first capital of Egypt, devoted to King Menes, which is Memphis. Get to see the giant statue of Ramses II, perhaps the most famous Pharaoh of Egypt. Then, from Cairo, continue along the route to Memphis and Sakkara to view the Djoser Pyramid or Step Pyramid, which is the world's first-ever pyramid, built by Pharaoh Djoser in the Third Dynasty. This remarkable Sakkara tour is considered one of the best options for travelers who want to combine Memphis and Saqqara in one day in Cairo. With professional guides, these Egypt day trips showcase the oldest pyramids and treasures, making it a must-do full-day Cairo tour for history lovers.
After breakfast at the hotel, our Egypt tour guide will be with you in a private, air-conditioned vehicle for a Cairo adventure tour of the most iconic landmarks in Giza.
Saqqara - The Step Pyramid of Djoser
Begin your Cairo day tour with a visit to Saqqara, the vast necropolis of ancient Memphis, which was home to the Step Pyramid of Pharaoh Djoser, designed by the brilliant architect Imhotep during the Third Dynasty. This distinctive six-tiered pyramid represents a significant shift in ancient Egyptian building methods, much like the world's first large-scale stone structure. Enjoy the best day trips from Cairo or a guided Sakkara tour to the Giza pyramids for a complete cultural experience.
Memphis
Next, you will visit Memphis, the mythical first capital of Egypt, which was founded around 3100 BC by King Menes. The large limestone statue of Ramses II is, of course, located in the first-rate, fully outdoor museum. At the end of your Cairo day trip or Memphis and Sakkara tour, your driver will then take you back to your hotel in comfort and safety.
