Start Your Adventure: Comfortable Drive through Scenic Landscapes

Your journey begins with a private car transfer from your Makadi Bay hotel to Cairo. As you travel through Egypt’s vast desert landscapes, enjoy the comfort of your air-conditioned vehicle while your driver ensures a smooth and relaxing ride. Take a break at a cozy rest stop along the way to stretch your legs, sip on a fresh cup of coffee, and set the tone for the day’s exciting exploration.

Upon reaching Cairo, you’ll be met by your knowledgeable Egyptologist guide, who will accompany you throughout the day and provide fascinating insights into Egypt’s ancient past. From here, your journey through Egypt’s rich history begins.

Memphis – The Ancient Capital of Egypt

Your first destination is Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt during the Old Kingdom. Founded by Pharaoh Narmer, Memphis was the political, cultural, and religious center of ancient Egypt for over 3,000 years.

At Memphis, you’ll witness the Colossus of Ramses II, an enormous statue of the great pharaoh, who was one of Egypt’s most famous rulers. This massive statue once stood at the entrance of the grand temple dedicated to Ramses II and now serves as a reminder of the power and grandeur of ancient Egypt.

Stroll through the open-air museum of Memphis and explore an array of statues, sarcophagi, and artifacts that offer a glimpse into the lives of Egypt’s ancient kings, queens, and gods.

Saqqara – The Necropolis of Ancient Egypt

Next, venture to Saqqara, a vast ancient burial ground that served as the necropolis for the capital of Memphis. It is home to the famous Step Pyramid of Djoser, the world’s earliest large-scale stone structure and one of the most iconic monuments of ancient Egyptian architecture.

The Step Pyramid was designed by Imhotep, one of the first known architects in history. This revolutionary pyramid marks the beginning of Egypt’s long and illustrious history of pyramid-building. As you stand before the pyramid, your guide will explain its construction, significance, and the symbolism behind its stepped design.

Explore the tombs and temples around the pyramid, each adorned with intricate carvings and hieroglyphs that tell stories of the pharaohs, gods, and daily life of the time. The Tomb of Mereruka, one of the most significant tombs in Saqqara, is a highlight, known for its vivid wall paintings and detailed reliefs.

Lunch: Traditional Egyptian Cuisine

After an enriching morning, enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant in Cairo, where you can taste the diverse flavors of authentic Egyptian cuisine. Dishes like koshari, falafel, moussaka, and fool medames (stewed fava beans) provide a delicious and satisfying respite before continuing your adventure.

The Egyptian Museum – Treasures of Tutankhamun

In the afternoon, visit the Egyptian Museum, home to one of the largest and most comprehensive collections of ancient Egyptian artifacts in the world. The museum’s collection includes over 120,000 items, each telling the story of Egypt’s pharaohs, gods, and the ancient world.

The highlight of your visit is the Treasures of Tutankhamun, including his golden mask, jewelry, and the extraordinary collection of treasures discovered in his tomb in 1922. As you explore the museum, your guide will reveal the stories behind these priceless artifacts, from their significance to the myths and legends that surrounded their discovery.

You will also have the chance to visit the Royal Mummies Hall, where you can view the preserved remains of some of Egypt’s most powerful rulers, including Ramses II, Seti I, and Queen Hatshepsut.

Relaxing Drive Back to Makadi Bay

As the sun sets over Cairo, enjoy a relaxing drive back to Makadi Bay in your private car, reflecting on the incredible historical sites you’ve visited. The comfortable drive through the scenic Egyptian landscape will give you time to unwind and process the awe-inspiring sights you’ve encountered throughout the day.
