Itineraries

Your journey into the heart of the Old Kingdom begins with a private pickup from Cairo International Airport. Your dedicated team will escort you south to the royal necropolises where the dream of the pyramid first took shape.

The tour commences at the Saqqara Step Pyramid, a golden monument that launched the profound era of pyramid construction. Built between 2670 BC and 2650 BC for Pharaoh Djoser, it stands as the oldest and largest cut-stone construction on Earth. Designed by the visionary architect Imhotep, this complex represents a revolutionary leap in ancient engineering and spirituality.

Next, you will explore the ruins of Memphis City, the first capital of a unified Egypt. Established in the 31st century BC, this "distant dream" served as the administrative and religious hub of the Old Kingdom. Located just 20 km south of Cairo, the site houses rare artifacts and colossal statues that reflect the city's former glory as the heart of Egyptian civilization.

The voyage continues to the royal land of Dahshur, home to some of the most preserved ancient structures dating between 2613 and 2589 BC. You will marvel at the Bent Pyramid, a unique transition in design, and the Red Pyramid, the first successful smooth-sided pyramid ever built. You will also view the Black Pyramid of Amenemhat III, witnessing the enduring legacy of the Middle Kingdom.

After a delicious lunch at a high-quality restaurant in Giza, your private vehicle will transfer you back to Cairo Airport in time for your flight, concluding a profound encounter with the foundations of history.
