Itineraries

Take this private Saqqara & Memphis tour to explore the roots of the ancient Egyptian civilization. This is a journey to two of the most important archaeological treasures of Egypt, where the idea of the pyramid and the nation-state was born.

Your adventure begins at the Saqqara Step Pyramid, the revolutionary architectural masterpiece that stands at a staggering 62 meters tall. Designed by the genius polymath Imhotep for his patron, King Djoser, this pyramid is celebrated as the world’s first large-scale cut stone construction. As you walk through the complex of tombs, you will see the impact of this architectural experiment on the face of Egyptian history, which paved the way for the Great Pyramids of Giza. It remains the golden milestone of human engineering and spirituality, providing a unique window into the Old Kingdom.

Take this opportunity to recharge your energies with a delicious lunch served at a high-class restaurant, where you can enjoy the authentic taste of Egyptian cuisine.

Your adventure continues to the magical city of Memphis, the city of the creator god Ptah. Founded by the great King Menes in the early 31st century BC, Memphis was the first-ever capital of the first-ever Egyptian Empire.

Today, it serves as an open-air museum filled with incredible monuments and artifacts, including the massive Recumbent Statue of Ramses II and the Alabaster Sphinx. Walking on this sacred soil allows you to walk on the same ground as the Egyptian pharaohs who ruled the Nile Valley at the dawn of history.

After this day of discovery of rare treasures and ancient milestones, your Deluxe Tours Egypt team will drive you back to your hotel in the comfort of our luxury vehicles.
