Trace the incredible evolution of ancient Egyptian funerary architecture in a single, action-packed day. From the sheer scale of the Giza Plateau to the historical treasure trove of Saqqara, this tour offers an intimate look into the beliefs, art, and engineering genius of the Pharaohs.
Tour the mighty Pyramids of Giza and the surrounding area with your Egyptologist guide. The Giza plateau is huge; musts are the 3 pyramids, the Sphinx, and the Valley temple. A short ride up the Giza Plateau will take you to a panoramic viewpoint – this will enable you to appreciate the pyramids from a desert setting and to see expansive views of these impressive monuments. After as much walking and exploring as you like, journey through the countryside to Saqqara. Visit the Saqqara necropolis, one of the largest archaeological sites in Egypt. Stretching over six kilometres in length, it has many tombs, known as mastabas, where the colours on the wonderful carvings are still fresh and bright, despite being over 4500 years old. This is where the oldest of all the pyramids is situated, the Step Pyramid of Djoser, undoubtedly the jewel of Saqqara. At the end of the day, head back to your hotel.
