2 Days Trip To Memphis , Saqqara From Hurghada By Private Car

Day 1 / Pyramids, Sphinx, and Memphis

Enjoy an unforgettable first day as you embark on a scenic private car transfer from Hurghada to Cairo. On the way, soak in the stunning desert vistas and vibrant agricultural fields that line the Nile. The journey offers a wonderful contrast between Egypt’s vast, golden desert and its fertile farmland.

 

Upon arrival in Cairo, you will be greeted by your expert Egyptologist guide, who will lead you on an extraordinary exploration of Egypt’s ancient wonders. Your first stop is the Great Pyramids of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Stand in awe before the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the last surviving wonder of the ancient world, originally standing at 146 meters tall. Your guide will provide captivating insights into how the ancient Egyptians built these colossal structures with advanced techniques.

 

Next, visit the Great Sphinx, the iconic guardian with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh. Learn about its symbolic significance in ancient Egypt and the enduring mysteries surrounding the statue, such as the missing nose.

 

After your exploration of Giza, enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant. Savor dishes like koshari, falafel, and freshly prepared Egyptian salads, all offering a taste of Egypt’s rich culinary heritage.


Continue your adventure with a visit to Saqqara, the ancient necropolis where the Step Pyramid of Djoser stands. This pyramid, designed by the architect Imhotep, is the earliest monumental stone structure in Egypt, marking a pivotal step in the evolution of pyramid design. Learn about the architectural brilliance of Imhotep and how this pyramid influenced subsequent structures.

 

Next, head to Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt. Explore the ruins of this once-thriving city, including the grand colossal statue of Ramses II, one of Egypt’s most powerful pharaohs. Memphis is home to remarkable relics that offer insight into Egypt’s religious and cultural history.

 

After a day filled with awe-inspiring historical sites, you’ll head back to your hotel in Cairo to relax and prepare for the next day’s adventure.

Day 2 / Citadel, Coptic Heritage, and Egyptian Museum

After breakfast, your private transfer will take you to the Citadel of Salah El-Din, a historic fortress perched on a hill, offering breathtaking panoramic views of Cairo. The citadel played a crucial role during the Crusades and has been a significant military stronghold throughout Egypt’s medieval history. Learn about its strategic importance and architectural splendor as you explore the site.

 

Next, visit the Mosque of Muhammad Ali, also known as the Alabaster Mosque, a magnificent example of Ottoman architecture. Admire the mosque’s grand dome, towering minarets, and intricate Islamic calligraphy. It stands as a testament to Egypt’s rich religious history.

Continue your journey to Coptic Cairo, where you’ll visit the Ben Ezra Synagogue, one of Egypt’s oldest synagogues. This site is an important part of Egypt’s Jewish heritage and offers a glimpse into the historical coexistence of Egypt’s Jewish, Christian, and Muslim communities. Enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant, sampling more of the country’s delicious cuisine.

 

In the afternoon, visit the world-renowned Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square, home to an unparalleled collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts. Among the museum’s highlights are the treasures of Tutankhamun, including the famous golden death mask. The museum also features a collection of royal mummies, ancient jewelry, and statues, offering deep insights into the beliefs and practices of ancient Egyptians.

 

After your visit to the museum, your guide will share captivating stories and historical facts that will make you feel connected to the ancient Egyptian civilization.
