Full-Day Giza, Saqqara & Dahshur Tour
This full-day tour departs from Cairo and Giza hotels and visits three pyramid fields in a single trip: Giza, Saqqara, and Dahshur. Travelers see the Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure with the Great Sphinx at Giza, the Step Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara, and the Bent and Red Pyramids at Dahshur. It is the only Cairo day tour that combines all three pyramid fields without a stop at Memphis. Many travelers who book this tour also explore our Cairo Full-Day Tours, which are ideal for building a comprehensive Cairo sightseeing plan.
The tour begins with private pickup from a Cairo or Giza hotel and a drive to the Giza Plateau, where the group visits the Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, the Pyramid of Menkaure, the Great Sphinx, and the Valley Temple of Khafre. From Giza, the vehicle continues to Saqqara to see the Step Pyramid of Djoser, built under the architect Imhotep. The final stop is Dahshur, where travelers visit the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid before returning to Cairo.
No other full-day tour from Cairo pairs the Giza pyramid complex with both the Saqqara and Dahshur pyramid fields in one itinerary without adding a Memphis stop. Comparable circuits pair Saqqara with Memphis or pair Dahshur with Meidum, each covering only two of the four adjacent pyramid sites in a single day.
