View the pyramids and sites of early ancient Egypt on this enthralling half-day tour from Cairo. With an expert guide, travel in an air-conditioned vehicle to Saqqara to see the magnificent Step Pyramid of Zoser, the world’s oldest stone pyramid. Continue to the site of Memphis, the ancient capital of Lower Egypt, to view what remains of this once colossal city. Admire its relics in the open-air museum, including a giant, fallen statue of Ramses II. These lesser known, but fascinating sites attract fewer tourists, making them wonderful to explore.

Truly excellent day! Our guide Mina was informative, friendly and offered a fantastic overall experience. We opted to add a visit to the Dahshur pyramids at the last moment, and they were completely accommodating. Can't recommend more highly.

My Wife & I went on this tour of Memphis & Saqqara and ended up being the only ones booked, so we essentially had a private tour. Our tour guide, Mina, was excellent! His passion and knowledge for all things Egypt was exceptional and he was always willing to help and answer questions. Memphis was great, seeing the Step Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara was quite surreal and then going into the Pyramid of Unas had some real wow moments. Thankyou Mina for being such a fantastic guide and person. We'll treasure this tour for a long time.

Fantastic tour - our guide brought the Step Pyramid to life with his story about how Upper and Lower Egypt were brought together - a step back in time

I joined a couple of other people on this tour with Mina as our guide. Mina was absolutely fantastic - knowledgeable and passionate as well as extremely helpful. I would recommend Mina 100%. I'm so glad I added this visit to Saqqara & Memphic to my Egypt trip - Saqqara ended up one of my faviourite places in Egypt!

Well worth the short (and breathtaking) trip. Found it better than the Giza Pyramids. Highly recommend. Best to use a Guide as they will greatly enhance the experience.

My husband and I did the Memphis and Saqqara tour with our guide Mina and it was excellent. The passion he had for his homeland and it’s history, people and culture was evident. He went the extra mile to ensure our experience was both fun and informative. Thank you Mina for a 10/10 experience, we could not recommend Mina more highly.

Mina, the tour guide, was the best! He had a wealth of knowledge about Egypt and the history, very friendly and polite. Would recommend seeing Memphis and Saqqara if you have the opportunity.

This was a fantastic tour! Gouda did an amazing job of explaining the history of the sites we visited, as well as an overview of the origins of ancient egyptian gods and goddesses. He did well to make sure we avoided the crowds as much as possible, and took some great photos.
Thank you, Gouda!

Mina was one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had! He was extremely knowledgeable, open to any questions and tailored the tour to our preferences. Would highly recommend Saqqara!
