On the final day of your tour, after breakfast, you’ll explore the fascinating archaeological sites south of Cairo.
Start with a visit to Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt founded around 3100 BC. It was the center of power for Egypt’s first kings and served as a vital location for controlling Upper and Lower Egypt. Explore the open-air museum, home to impressive statues of Ramses II and other ancient artifacts.
Next, visit Sakkara, the site of the Step Pyramid of Djoser, one of the oldest stone structures in Egypt. Built during the 3rd Dynasty, this pyramid marks a significant milestone in the development of Egyptian pyramid construction. It is the precursor to the smooth-sided pyramids found at Giza.
Continue to Dahshur, a pyramid field located 40 kilometers south of Giza. Here you’ll find the Bent Pyramid, famous for its unique shape, and the Red Pyramid, one of Egypt’s best-preserved early pyramids. These structures, built by King Sneferu, represent an essential step in the evolution of pyramid design.
After exploring these ancient wonders, enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant before heading back to Soma Bay in your private vehicle. You’ll arrive in the evening, completing your unforgettable 3-day Cairo tour.
