Saqqara, Dahshour and Memphis Full Day

Dahshur, Memphis, and Saqqara can be visited on a day trip from Cairo and Giza. And this day trip beat all of our expectations. Touring the pyramids of Dahshur feels like an adventure. To get inside of the pyramids, you will descend down tight, steep tunnels and then explore the ancient chambers inside of the pyramids. In some ways, it’s much more thrilling than a visit to the pyramids of Giza. It’s also much less crowded. Memphis was the first capital city of Egypt. A visit here is quick with a tour of the open-air museum. Finally, you will visit Saqqara, which was the necropolis for the city of Memphis. It is here that you can see the famous Step Pyramid of Djoser and the oldest complete stone building complex in the world. A visit to Dahshur, Memphis and Saqqara is one of Egypt’s best history lessons. I will give you the basic facts in this post, but it really helps to have a knowledgeable guide or Egyptologist who can fill you in on all of the details
