After breakfast at your hotel, start your final day of exploration with a visit to Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt. Memphis was founded around 3100 BC and became the center of the early Dynastic period.

It was the seat of power for Egypt’s first kings and a key location for controlling Upper and Lower Egypt. Visit the open-air museum to see the colossal statues of Ramses II and other ancient artifacts.

Next, head to Sakkara, the site of the Step Pyramid of Djoser, one of the world’s oldest stone structures. Built in the 3rd Dynasty by King Djoser, this pyramid was the first to feature large-scale cut stone and represents a major advancement in Egyptian architecture. The Step Pyramid is the precursor to the smooth-sided pyramids found at Giza, marking an important step in the evolution of pyramid construction.

From Sakkara, continue to Dahshur, a pyramid field located 40 kilometers south of Giza. Here you’ll find the Bent Pyramid, known for its unique shape, and the Red Pyramid, one of Egypt’s best-preserved early pyramids. These structures, built by King Sneferu during the 4th Dynasty, are key examples of the architectural development that led to the construction of the more famous pyramids at Giza.

After exploring these fascinating sites, enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant. In the afternoon, your guide will drive you back to Hurghada, where you will arrive in the evening, completing your memorable 3-day journey through Egypt’s most iconic historical landmarks.
