🍽️ After breakfast, meet your private Egyptologist guide for a full-day tour exploring some of Egypt’s most iconic ancient wonders.

Giza Pyramid Complex:

Visit the legendary Giza Plateau, home to the Pyramids of Khufu (Cheops), Khafre (Chephren), and Menkaure (Mycerinus). Explore the three main pyramids, six smaller “queen” pyramids, the Great Sphinx — the world’s largest monumental sculpture carved from a single limestone ridge — and the Valley Temple of Khafre.

Lunch: Enjoy a delicious meal at one of Cairo’s finest local restaurants, sampling authentic Egyptian cuisine.

Sakkara Step Pyramid:

Discover the Step Pyramid of King Djoser, the first monumental stone building in human history. Originally intended as a simple mastaba, it evolved through multiple stages into the iconic stepped form, reaching nearly 200 feet (60 meters) in height — a true architectural marvel of the 3rd Dynasty.

Memphis City:

Visit the ancient city of Memphis in the village of Mitrahina, approximately 20 km (12.5 miles) south of Cairo. Founded as a royal citadel in the Early Dynastic Period, Memphis became the political and cultural capital under the Old Kingdom, strategically located between Upper and Lower Egypt. Known as “the balance of the two lands,” it played a central role in Egypt’s history.

The valley was famously rediscovered in 1922 by British archaeologist Howard Carter, offering a fascinating insight into ancient Egyptian funerary practices.

The Temple of Hatshepsut:

Visit the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut, ancient Egypt’s first female Pharaoh. Rising to power after the death of her father, Thutmose I, and her half-brother/husband, Thutmose II, Hatshepsut’s temple features elegant terraces and colonnades, reflecting her extraordinary legacy.
