Saqqara Step Pyramid & Dahshur Pyramids Tour from Cairo

Relish our smooth pickup service from the point in Cairo you select when booking—maybe in the airport, train station, or hotel—and take your rest in the private modern AC vehicle, starting your day tour with your Egyptologist.

Embark on the Saqqara Complex to explore Unas Pyramid, where you find inside the oldest known religious inscriptions in the world, and proceed to the Step Pyramid of Djoser,  the first stone monument ever constructed in history, which wasn’t just a tomb—it was a symbol of divine kingship and eternal life. 

Visit also the Idut tomb; the walls are covered with stunning, vividly colored reliefs that show daily life along the Nile—fishing, hunting, offering rituals, and processions of animals—all rendered with incredible detail.

After visiting the Saqqara Complex, head to the Dahshur Pyramids, where ancient builders improved the design of pyramids from step-sided to smooth-sided, starting with the Bent Pyramid that shows an early effort at smooth sides, with its angle change showing how builders adjusted their methods while building. 

Next, explore the Red Pyramid, the first successful smooth-sided pyramid that paved the way for the Great Pyramid of Giza.

Conclude your trip at a local restaurant by experiencing one of the most delicious local Egyptian dishes.

Later on, we arrive at the drop-off point you select in Cairo after creating unbelievable memories and taking non-repeatable photos.
