Tour to Pyramids, Memphis, and Saqqara From Cairo

A full-day private tour from Cairo visits the Giza Pyramids Plateau, the Saqqara Step Pyramid, and the ancient capital of Memphis in a single 8-hour circuit. It is the only tour in the Cairo pyramid-belt category that combines a camel ride at the Giza Plateau with a stop at the open-air Memphis museum. Pickup and drop-off take place at Cairo hotels, with private transport between all three sites. Whether you’re browsing our full selection of Cairo Full Day Trips or planning your journey through our collection of Egypt Excursions, this tour stands out for delivering the classic highlights most comfortably and insightfully.

The day starts with private transport from a Cairo hotel to the Giza Plateau, where the Great Pyramids and the Great Sphinx are the first stops. From the Sphinx, the route continues to the Valley Temple of Khafre before driving south to Saqqara to see the Step Pyramid. The final site is the Memphis Open-Air Museum, home to the colossal statue of Ramses II, followed by lunch at a local restaurant before the drive back to Cairo.

No other full-day tour from Cairo combines the Giza Plateau camel ride with a dedicated Memphis museum stop in the same private circuit. Tours built around Giza, Saqqara, and Dahshur cover a different pyramid field instead of the ancient capital, while this route keeps the focus on Giza plus the two ancient-capital sites.

Itinerary

  • Giza Pyramids, Memphis, and Saqqara Trip

    A private vehicle collects you from your Cairo hotel in the early morning and drives directly to the Giza Plateau, the first stop on this Giza Pyramids Memphis Saqqara tour. Travelers wanting a different pyramid-field combination can compare the Dahshur and Meidum Pyramids off-beat tour.

    Great Pyramids of Giza Tour

    Arriving at the legendary Great Pyramid of Khufu, you’ll stand before the last remaining Wonder of the Ancient World—an unforgettable moment for any traveler. Your guide explains the brilliant engineering and spiritual beliefs behind Khufu’s pyramid, then leads you to the nearby pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure, each with unique designs, temples, and stories. You’ll have free time to explore, take photos, or walk among the ancient stones.

    Great Sphinx Tour

    Continue your journey down to the timeless Great Sphinx, a masterpiece carved from a single limestone block. With the body of a lion and the face of King Khafre, the Sphinx symbolizes royal power and ancient mysteries. Your guide shares fascinating insights about its purpose, symbolism, and the ongoing debates surrounding its age.

    Camel Ride at the Giza Plateau

    Your guide arranges a camel ride across the sand near the pyramids, giving a different vantage point of the plateau than a walking tour allows.

    Valley of Khafraa Tour

    Just beside the Sphinx sits the Valley Temple, one of the best-preserved ancient Egyptian temples. Here, your guide explains how the mummification rituals and royal purification ceremonies took place. This stop brings you closer to the spiritual world of the ancient pharaohs.

    Saqqara Step Pyramid Visit

    Your tour continues south to Saqqara, the vast burial ground of ancient Memphis. Walk through the monumental complex of King Djoser’s Step Pyramid, the world’s first stone building and first pyramid ever built. Inside the enclosure, you’ll explore ancient tombs, colorful reliefs, and innovations that changed Egyptian architecture forever. If open, your guide may also take you into one of Saqqara’s beautifully decorated tombs.

    Memphis Open-Air Museum

    A short drive from Saqqara, the ancient capital of Memphis holds a collection of statues and inscriptions set in an open-air museum. The fallen colossus of Ramses II is the centerpiece here, carved at a scale that dwarfs the surrounding garden displays in this ancient Memphis open-air museum tour.

    Return to Hotel

    After a day filled with ancient wonders and unforgettable stories, relax on your comfortable drive back to Cairo. Your guide will assist with any questions, recommendations, or photography you’d like before ending the tour with a drop-off at your hotel.
