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.

Only on this route
Most Cairo pyramid tours stop after Giza and Saqqara, skipping Dahshur because it adds another hour of driving. This tour continues south to Dahshur to see both the Bent and Red Pyramids before returning to Cairo.
A private vehicle collects you from your Cairo or Giza hotel in the morning and heads directly to the Giza Plateau, the first stop on this Giza Pyramids, Saqqara, and Dahshur day trip.
At the Giza Plateau, you'll see the iconic Great Pyramids, a timeless symbol of ancient Egypt. Explore the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the largest and most impressive, showcasing incredible architecture. Visit the Pyramid of Khafre, slightly smaller but equally striking, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, a masterpiece of precision and craftsmanship.
Arrive at the legendary Giza Plateau and stand before the Great Pyramid of Khufu—one of the last remaining Ancient World Wonders. Continue to the Pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure as your guide explains their unique construction methods and historical significance.
Marvel at the iconic Great Sphinx, carved from a single limestone block. Then explore the Valley Temple of Khafre, an exceptionally preserved mortuary complex used in ancient purification rituals.
Travel south to Saqqara, home to the world’s first pyramid: the Step Pyramid of Djoser. Learn how Imhotep revolutionized ancient architecture and explore nearby tombs decorated with vivid hieroglyphs.
End your tour at Dahshur, a peaceful desert area away from crowds. Here, you’ll visit the Bent Pyramid—a transitional structure—and the Red Pyramid, Egypt’s first true smooth-sided pyramid.
