Your expert guide will lead you to Sakkara, a treasure trove of history just 27 km southwest of Cairo. Here, witness the groundbreaking Step Pyramid of King Djoser, a pivotal structure in the evolution of pyramid design from simple mastabas to the iconic forms we recognize today.

Next, delve into the ancient capital of Memphis, dating back to 3100 B.C. Marvel at the colossal statue of Ramses II and the enigmatic Alabaster Sphinx, remnants of a glorious past. Continue your exploration to Dahshur, a royal necropolis 40 km south of Cairo. Discover the remarkable Bent and Red Pyramids, among Egypt’s oldest, largest, and best-preserved, constructed between 2613–2589 BCE.

While in Sakkara, consider an optional visit to the Pyramid of Teti, the final resting place of Pharaoh Teti, showcasing the architectural brilliance of the Old Kingdom. You might also be intrigued by the Mastaba of Ti, renowned for its vivid depictions of ancient Egyptian daily life within its tomb walls and serdabs.
