Visit the Pyramids of Giza as your first stop. This is one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world, and it is where you will meet the Great Pyramid of Khufu. Your Egyptologist guide will provide all the juicy details about these ancient structures that have stood for well over 4,500 years. You'll have all the time you need to walk around the pyramid complex, visit the majestic Sphinx, and capture photographs of these incredible landmarks.
You proceed to Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt, which used to be a bustling cultural and political center. In its place now, Memphis is one vast open museum filled with lots of statues and remnants of the city's great past. Here, you visit the colossal statue of Ramses II, one of the most giant and best-preserved statues among the pharaohs. Here, your guide will enlighten you about the historiographical significance of Memphis and its importance in ancient Egyptian civilization.
The following stop on your itinerary is at Saqqara, which is probably most famous for the Step Pyramid of King Djoser. Built during the 3rd Dynasty, the Step Pyramid is considered the earliest large stone building in Egypt. It represents a huge innovation in terms of architectural design. You will explore the pyramid complex and discover the change in pyramid construction that originated from this early version. You will also come across several tombs and burial sites dating back to the Old Kingdom.
After a busy day of history and learning, you will proceed for a drop-off in Sokhna Port during the arm hours. Such a smorgasbord day trip is the most enlivening about Egypt, covering all its ancient wonders that translate into memories to last a lifetime-from pyramids, temples, thions, and beyond that have defined it through millennia.
