Mystical Day Tour to Pyramids, Saqqara and GEM
This full day tour departs from Cairo hotels and covers the Giza Pyramids, the Saqqara Step Pyramid necropolis, and the Grand Egyptian Museum in one 8-hour circuit. It is the only Cairo day tour that pairs Saqqara’s Step Pyramid of Djoser, Egypt’s oldest large-scale stone pyramid, with the Grand Egyptian Museum, the country’s newest major museum.
The day starts with pickup from Cairo hotels in a private air-conditioned vehicle, followed by a drive to the Giza Plateau. At Giza, the stops are the Pyramid of Khufu, the Great Sphinx, and the Valley Temple of Khafre. From Giza, the vehicle continues to Saqqara for the Step Pyramid of Djoser, then to the Grand Egyptian Museum for a guided visit to the Tutankhamun galleries, before the return drive to Cairo hotels. Travelers comparing pyramid-and-museum combinations from Cairo can browse Cairo Full Day Tours to see how this circuit differs from single-site options.
No other full-day tour from Cairo combines the Saqqara Step Pyramid necropolis with a Grand Egyptian Museum visit in the same itinerary. Enhance your adventure with our range of Private Egypt Day Trips, perfect for travelers seeking a flexible and insightful experience.
