Tour to Saqqara, Memphis and Dahshur from Alexandria Port

In the morning, you will be taken from your cruise ship at Alexandria Port to Cairo (outside the exit door) by a private A/C vehicle and once you get to Cairo, you will meet your professional expert tour guide to visit:

Saqqara Step Pyramid:

It's dedicated to King Djoser which was constructed in the Saqqara Complex during the time of the 3rd dynasty. What makes some historians classified Saqqara Pyramid as one of the ancient world wonders is that it's said it was the first pyramid ever built in the world. Saqqara Step Pyramid has a unique structure since it’s made from six steps of stones that's why it became a distinctive monument.

Memphis City:

Man or Memphis is the first ancient Egyptian capital city that was established by King Narmer in 3200 BC. The city is situated 20 KM south of Cairo on the west bank of the Nile; Memphis City boasts a wide array of impressive statues and antiquities. It was believed that it was found by the first pharaoh of the 1st dynasty and this means the city is over 5000 years old. Lunch will be served at a very good local restaurant then move to witness:

The Pyramids at Dahshur:

Dahshur contains two of Egypt's best-known pyramids which were established during the ruling time of King Sneferu within the 4th dynasty. The Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid are best-preserved evidence of the architectural development that led to the erection of the three iconic pyramids of Giza. At the end of the day, you will drive back to your cruise at Alexandria Port.
