Ask A Travel Expert
Which sites does the full-day tour to the Pyramids, Sakkara, Memphis and Dahshur visit?

The 8-hour tour visits four areas in one day: the Giza Pyramids with the Great Sphinx, Sakkara with the Step Pyramid of Djoser, Memphis with its colossal statue of Ramses II, and Dahshur with the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid. Lunch at a local restaurant is part of the day, and the tour runs every day.

How do Sakkara and Dahshur differ on this tour?

Sakkara is home to the Step Pyramid of Djoser, described as the world's oldest large-scale stone structure. Dahshur has the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid, which the itinerary calls two of Egypt's earliest attempts at smooth-sided pyramids. Your private Egyptologist guide covers the history of each site.

What does the price of the full-day pyramids tour include?

The price of $95 per person covers hotel pick-up and return, a private air-conditioned vehicle for all transfers, entrance fees to the sites on the itinerary and a private Egyptologist guide in your chosen language. It also includes a traditional Egyptian lunch, bottled water, service charges and taxes. Tipping, the visa and international airfare are not included.

Can I go inside the Great Pyramid on the full-day pyramids tour?

Entry into the Great Pyramid of Khufu and other inner tombs is listed as an optional visit that is not part of the tour price. You can arrange it on the day, subject to availability, and pay in USD or Egyptian pounds. Camel rides and horse-drawn carriages are listed as optional extras too.

Can I book the Sakkara, Memphis and Dahshur day tour as a solo traveler?

Yes. The tour is private, the minimum is 1 traveler, and the price is $95 per person, so you do not need to join a group. Book online with your date, the number of adults and children and your pick-up hotel. A group of up to 8 fits in the van, and your booking confirmation gives the pick-up details.

What do children pay on the full-day Giza, Sakkara, Memphis and Dahshur tour?

Children under 6 travel free and children aged 6 to 11 pay 50% of the adult price. Anyone aged 12 or older pays the full fare of $95. The booking panel lets you enter adults, children 6 to 11 and children under 6 separately before you continue to payment.
