Overview
A full day in the footsteps of the first pharaohs: Giza, the Sphinx, the Step Pyramid of Djoser and Memphis.
This excursion brings together the three major sites of the Old Kingdom in a single day. We arrive at Giza as the gates open to enjoy the pyramids before the crowds, then head to the Sphinx and the Valley Temple of Khafre.
The afternoon is devoted to Saqqara, where Djoser’s Step Pyramid marks the birth of stone architecture, and to Memphis, the first capital of a unified Egypt.
