Day trip to the Pyramids from Alexandria Port
Discover the wonders of ancient Egypt with our Day Trip to the Pyramids from Alexandria Port. This journey takes you through some of Egypt’s most iconic landmarks, including the Great Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and the ancient sites of Memphis and Saqqara. With private transfers and a personal tour guide, this tour ensures a seamless, informative, and unforgettable experience.
Great Pyramid of Giza Khufu , Khafre and Menkaure
Your adventure begins with a comfortable private transfer from Alexandria Port to Cairo. Upon arrival, your first stop is the Great Pyramid of Giza, built for Pharaoh Khufu around 4,500 years ago. This is the largest and most iconic pyramid at Giza, and the only remaining wonder of the ancient world. Inside, you can explore the tomb and learn about the remarkable construction techniques used to build this massive structure.
Next, visit the Pyramid of Khafre, the second-largest pyramid. Built for Pharaoh Khafre, this pyramid is known for its stunning location, where it is surrounded by the Great Sphinx. Here, you’ll have the chance to take in breathtaking views of the pyramids and the Sphinx, making for great photo opportunities.
Continue your exploration with the Pyramid of Menkaure, the smallest of the three pyramids at Giza. This pyramid, built for Pharaoh Menkaure, is surrounded by smaller pyramids and mastabas (tombs of nobles). Despite its size, it holds great historical significance and is an essential part of the Giza Plateau.
The Great Sphinx of Giza
One of the most iconic monuments in the world, the Great Sphinx of Giza is a must-see during your visit. This giant limestone statue with the body of a lion and the head of a Pharaoh—likely Khafre—has stood for millennia, guarding the pyramids and embodying the strength and mystery of ancient Egypt.
Optional Camel Ride
For an unforgettable experience, take an optional camel ride around the pyramids. This provides a unique perspective of the ancient wonders and is the perfect opportunity for stunning photos with the pyramids in the background.
Memphis (Ancient Capital)
After exploring the pyramids, you’ll head to Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt. Here, you’ll see the colossal Colossus of Ramses II, an enormous statue of one of Egypt’s most famous Pharaohs. Visit the Alabaster Sphinx and the Temple of Ptah, and gain insight into Memphis’s significance as the cultural and religious heart of ancient Egypt.
Saqqara (Step Pyramid of Djoser)
Continue your journey to Saqqara, where you’ll see the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the world’s first pyramid. Designed by the architect Imhotep, the Step Pyramid was a groundbreaking architectural achievement and a precursor to the more famous pyramids at Giza. You’ll also visit the Tomb of Ti, known for its vivid and detailed wall reliefs depicting daily life in ancient Egypt.
Lunch at a Local Restaurant
After a day of exploration, enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant. Savor classic dishes such as koshari, shawarma, and grilled meats, providing you with an authentic taste of Egypt’s rich culinary traditions.
Return to Alexandria Port
After an enriching day of discovering Egypt’s ancient treasures, your journey concludes with a comfortable private transfer back to Alexandria Port, where you’ll return with unforgettable memories of your adventure through ancient Egypt.
