Day 1 / Hurghada to Cairo – Pyramids, Saqqara, and Memphis
Your adventure begins with a private pickup from your hotel in Hurghada , ensuring a smooth and hassle-free start to your tour. Relax in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle during your scenic 5-6 hour drive through Egypt’s expansive desert landscapes.
Upon arrival in Cairo, you’ll visit the Pyramids of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

After exploring Giza, recharge with a delicious Egyptian lunch at a carefully selected local restaurant, offering authentic Egyptian dishes such as grilled kebabs, koshari, and falafel.
Your journey continues to Saqqara, home to the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the oldest known pyramid in Egypt. Discover the story behind this revolutionary structure, designed by the legendary architect Imhotep, and explore the surrounding tombs and mastabas that reveal the early innovations in Egyptian pyramid-building techniques.
End the day with a visit to Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt.
