Explore the Pyramids of Giza
Your first stop is the Giza Plateau, home to the Pyramids of Giza, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Witness the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the largest and oldest of the three pyramids, standing as a testament to the ancient Egyptians’ incredible engineering and architectural prowess. Explore the Pyramid of Khafre, famous for its original limestone casing, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, the smallest but equally impressive.
The Great Sphinx, a colossal statue with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh, stands proudly in front of the pyramids, symbolizing strength, wisdom, and protection. Capture breathtaking photos of this monumental site against the vast desert backdrop, making memories to last a lifetime.

Lunch
Around midday, stop for a delicious traditional Egyptian lunch at a carefully selected local restaurant. Enjoy a variety of authentic Egyptian dishes such as grilled kofta, kebabs, koshari (a hearty mix of rice, lentils, pasta, and chickpeas), falafel, and stuffed grape leaves, paired with fresh salads, tahini dips, and warm pita bread. This meal offers a perfect opportunity to recharge before continuing your journey through Egypt’s ancient history.
4
Saqqara
After lunch, head to Saqqara, one of Egypt’s most significant archaeological sites. Here, you’ll find the revolutionary Step Pyramid of Djoser, designed by the legendary architect Imhotep. As the world’s first large-scale stone pyramid, it marks a monumental moment in Egypt’s architectural history. Stroll through this ancient necropolis, marveling at beautifully preserved tombs, mastabas, and structures that tell the story of Egypt’s early dynasties. Your guide will explain the evolution of pyramid-building techniques and the innovative designs that made Saqqara a turning point in architectural development.

Memphis - the first capital of unified Egypt
Next, travel to Memphis, the first capital of unified Egypt, which flourished as a cultural and administrative hub for over 3,000 years. As an open-air museum, Memphis is home to several remarkable artifacts, including the colossal Statue of Ramses II, an awe-inspiring depiction of Egypt’s most celebrated pharaoh.
Nearby, you’ll also find the Alabaster Sphinx, a beautifully preserved sculpture representing protection and strength. Memphis offers a vivid glimpse into the grandeur of the Old Kingdom and provides a deeper understanding of how civilization first thrived along the banks of the Nile River.
