Itinerary
Day Tour Sakkara, Memphis & Dahshur Your guide for the day will pick you up and begin your guided tour with a drive through the countryside to Sakkara to see the Step Pyramid - the first pyramid to be built and the surrounding monuments. Your guide will give you a detailed history on Imhotep, the Egyptian architect who created this pyramid and how he accomplished this major undertaking. When we finish exploring this area we will visit the Pyramid of Teti with its inscribed texts, and several private tombs.
The Pyramid of Teti, located in Saqqara, Egypt, is a captivating ancient structure built as the final resting place for Pharaoh Teti. Standing as a testament to the ingenuity and architectural prowess of the Old Kingdom, this pyramid attracts visitors from around the world with its impressive size and historical significance. Explore the chambers and corridors of this pyramid to uncover the mysteries of ancient Egypt and immerse yourself in the rich history of this iconic landmark.
Following is a visit to the open air Museum at Memphis where the Colossus of Ramses the II, the largest statue of Ramses the Great can be seen in the place where it was discovered, see the Alabaster Sphinx alongside.
The Red Pyramid and the Bent Pyramid are about 2 km south of the Mastaba Faraoun. The constructor of these pyramids is thought to have been Snofru (2575 - 2551 BC), who was the first ruler of the 4th Dynasty. Snofru built these two pyramids and is thought to have built the pyramid at Maidoun. His son was Cheops who continued his constructive tendencies. On the way back to Cairo we will stop at a local school of carpet making where you will see the local nimble-fingered children weaving carpets and wall hangings. At the end of the day transfer you back to hotel.

Had a beautiful day with Shadi, he knows a lot about the history of Sakkara and Dahshur and the stops were long enough. We did the Papyrus and Carpet museum too, with a nice private guide. Optional buying, felt no pressure to do so. Great day!

Let me begin with the fact that we had a great Holiday in Egypt. lovely people so I won't let this one bad exp undermine our positive experience. We booked a day trip for saqqara, dashur and memphis which under heading said with lunch. When asked about it, we were told that it is extra service and it is just the title "a day trip with lunch". This is misleading, and no one takes the ownership. Is it the viator, driver, or the owner of the car or manager. They would keep passing the buck. To make the matter worse, the car cum trip owner started bombarding me with whatsApp messages, screenshots and was extremely rude accusing me of paying low and demand service. I chose not to retaliate. Our bad exp contd. When we reached Memphis, the entry was closed because we reached 10 mts late. Driver who was very good, but did not know the timings at all. This happened despite we not spending any extra time on any of the sites like dashur or saaquara. We did not even enter the pyramids, did not stop for lunch and yet we missed it and no one informed us about the timings. We lost time because they invariably make you stop at various shopping places, whether u want or not. Not good. I expect the owner to once again retaliate post my review as he has done with other customers. Our driver John was very good though and we still made the best of time we had together. As I said, we had a good time overall in Egypt.
