After lunch, your adventure continues with a visit to Saqqara, the vast ancient necropolis located just outside Cairo. Saqqara is famous for the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the world’s first large-scale stone pyramid, designed by the brilliant architect Imhotep. This remarkable structure marks a turning point in ancient Egyptian architecture and laid the foundation for the later pyramids at Giza. As you explore Saqqara, you’ll encounter other fascinating tombs, mastabas, and ancient burial structures that reveal the evolution of Egyptian funerary practices and religious beliefs during the Old Kingdom.

Next, head to Memphis, the first capital of unified Egypt, where you will discover the magnificent Colossus of Ramses II, a massive statue of the great pharaoh, once placed at the entrance of a temple in the ancient city. The statue showcases the artistic mastery of ancient Egyptian craftsmen and offers insight into the grandeur of Ramses II’s reign. You will also visit the Alabaster Sphinx, a beautifully preserved monument carved from alabaster that symbolizes Egypt’s strength and protective powers. Memphis was a thriving cultural and political center for over three millennia, and these relics serve as a testament to Egypt’s enduring power and influence.

After a day filled with exploring Egypt’s most iconic ancient wonders, you’ll relax as you make your way back to Makadi Bay in the comfort of your private vehicle. On your return journey, reflect on the remarkable history you’ve experienced, from the monumental pyramids and Sphinx to the architectural innovations at Saqqara and the ancient city of Memphis. This carefully curated day trip offers a blend of cultural immersion, historical exploration, and relaxation, ensuring you an unforgettable experience that connects you with the timeless wonders of ancient Egypt.
