This full-day bus tour in Cairo lasts about eight hours and covers several major ancient Egyptian sites with an Egyptologist guide. Pickup is provided from your accommodation in Cairo or Giza in an air-conditioned vehicle. The first stop is Saqqara, where you can see the Step Pyramid of Djoser, Egypt’s oldest large stone structure, built around 2630 BC. You may also visit the Tomb of Kangemni and the Pyramid of Teti during the two-hour stay. Next, the tour drives to Memphis, Egypt’s first capital city after the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt around 3100 BC. Here you will see the Colossal Statue of Ramesses II during a half-hour visit. Afterward, there is a break for lunch at a local restaurant at your own expense. The afternoon includes two hours at the Giza Pyramids, visiting the pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mycerinus. Then a one-hour panoramic viewing of the pyramids allows time for photos and an optional camel ride at an additional cost. The tour continues with a 30-minute stop at the Great Sphinx to observe the statue featuring a Pharaoh’s head on a lion’s body. The last part of the tour is a two-hour walk around the Valley Temple, the burial complex connected to the Pyramid of Chephren, where you can see the mortuary temple’s architecture. After this, there is free time for shopping where you can negotiate prices directly with vendors. The tour concludes with a drop-off at your accommodation in Cairo or Giza. Included are entry tickets to the Pyramids-Sphinx area, Saqqara, and Memphis if that option is selected, bottled water, and the Egyptologist guide. Lunch is included only for the private option.
