Begin your Sakkara and Memphis private tour with a visit to the legendary Pyramids of Giza, one of the most iconic landmarks in the world. Located just outside Cairo, this ancient complex includes:
The Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops) – the largest and oldest of the three.
The Pyramid of Khafre – known for its preserved outer casing near the top.
The Pyramid of Menkaure – the smallest, yet equally significant.
These monumental tombs, built over 4,500 years ago, stand as a testament to the engineering genius of ancient Egypt.
No trip to the Giza Plateau is complete without seeing the Great Sphinx, a limestone statue with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh — symbolizing strength and wisdom.
Take unforgettable photos, walk around the ancient site, and feel the awe of standing before the last surviving wonder of the ancient world.
Next on your Sakkara and Memphis private tour, visit the awe-inspiring Great Sphinx of Giza — one of the oldest and most mysterious monuments in Egypt.
Carved from a single block of limestone, the Sphinx stretches approximately 73 meters long and stands about 22 meters high. This iconic statue features the body of a lion, representing strength and royal power, and the head of a man, symbolizing the wisdom and intelligence of King Khafre, who is believed to have commissioned its construction.
Standing guard over the pyramids, the Sphinx remains a powerful symbol of ancient Egyptian mythology, art, and spiritual beliefs. Don’t miss the chance to capture unforgettable photos from every angle.
Midway through your Sakkara and Memphis private tour, take a relaxing break with a traditional Egyptian lunch at a carefully selected local restaurant. You’ll enjoy classic dishes such as:

Continue your Sakkara and Memphis private tour with a visit to Saqqara, home to the world’s oldest pyramid — the Step Pyramid of King Djoser, built in the 27th century BC.
Designed by the legendary architect Imhotep, this structure was a groundbreaking moment in ancient Egyptian architecture, marking the transition from mastaba tombs to full-scale pyramids.

Explore ancient tombs richly decorated with colorful carvings and hieroglyphics
Walk through open courtyards and temple ruins
Learn about burial practices, religious beliefs, and daily life in the Old Kingdom
Saqqara is an essential part of Egypt’s ancient legacy and one of the highlights of your private tour from Cairo.
Conclude your Sakkara and Memphis private tour with a visit to Memphis, the first capital of unified Egypt, founded around 3100 BC by King Menes.
Located just a short drive from Saqqara, Memphis was once a powerful political and religious center. Today, it hosts a fascinating open-air museum where you can explore:
The colossal limestone statue of Ramses II, showcasing incredible craftsmanship
The beautiful Alabaster Sphinx, carved from a single block of alabaster
A collection of ancient statues, reliefs, and temple fragments
