Embark on a tour that takes you to the first Pyramid Texts in history at the Unas Pyramid. A third of the Pyramid Texts, up to 228 chapters, will surround you. Immerse yourself in the details of the daily life of ancient Egypt in the Idot tomb. Witness the pharaonic farms and hunting trips. That is as if you are riding a time machine that takes you back to the heart of ancient Egypt. The Saqqara Necropolis and Dahshour Pyramids Day Trip from Cairo is your opportunity to arrive at unique historical spots.
Meet this statue of King Djoser. It has two holes in front of its eyes, looking at the northern stars. So that the soul may return to him from time to time. Transfer to the Saqqara pyramid complex and explore the secrets of the Heb Sed festival hall.
Go amid the mysteries of Snefru in the Dahshur Pyramids. Explore the hidden secret of building two pyramids instead of one. Uncover the healing energy of those pyramids from skin diseases and the relation of that with the smell of ammonia inside it.

Itinerary
Saqqara Necropolis and Dahshor Pyramids Day Trip From Cairo
Saqqara Necropolis and Dahshor Pyramids Day Trip From Cairo
Saqqara Necropolis—arrival around 9:30 AM
Meet your expert Egyptologist at the pickup point. This Egyptologist, who speaks your language, accompanies you in an A/C vehicle that is one of the latest models and driven by a friendly expert captain. Arrive at the Saqqara Necropolis.
The Unas Pyramid Stop: Explore the mysteries of the decorations inside this pyramid with a Golavita tour guide!
Enter this pyramid, where you will find the first Pyramid Text in history, “A third of the Pyramid Texts up to 228 chapters"; it was built in the 5th dynasty and includes an amazing burial room. When uniquely focusing the torches, the inscriptions on the wall turn into the king shape. These drawings show us the king's trip to the sky after death, and other ones represent his return to being one of the gods.
The Idot Tomb Stop: Immerse Yourself in the details of the daily life of the pharaohs
Move to the Idot tomb, one of the most beautiful tombs, which includes drawings representing the daily life of ancient Egypt. The top outstanding scenes of hunting from ancient Egypt are located inside this tomb, where peasants returning from farmland and offerings are found.
The lotus flower is the dominant feature of the cemetery, and therefore it is one of the most beautiful areas for spiritual energy.
The Saqqara Pyramid Complex Stop: It is where limestone was used for the first time for building in human history instead of mud brick by the genius engineer Imhotep
Immerse yourself in where the Heb-Sed or the Feast of the Tail, was celebrated in the Heb-Sed festival hall every 30 years, and then every 4 years, the ancient Egyptians performed a medical examination on the king to ensure his eligibility to rule Egypt.
Climb down 28 meters and arrive at the southern tomb, which is in the pyramid itself and includes a Pharaonic sarcophagus and other rooms that represent what is included completely inside the Giza Pyramids; this tomb has an extra fee.
Reach the basement where the statue of King Djoser was found with two holes in front of the eyes to look at the northern stars so that the soul may return to him from time to time and visit him.
Dahshur Pyramids Tour
Immerse yourself in the heart of history's victories by building the first correct pyramid in the history of humanity, the Red Pyramid.
It is the first smooth pyramid in history; this pyramid has mineral compositions that include ammonia to cure people of skin diseases. Spend some time inside the pyramid, learn about the secrets of the Red Pyramid from your expert Egyptologist and you can visit it from the inside.
Go ahead to the Bent Pyramid, and let your tour guide narrate for you the mysteries of this first smooth pyramid and the second pyramid in history after the Step Pyramid of Djoser; explore if that is right since the pyramid was built in a wrong way and that is why Senfru built another one or not!
lunchtime at a Local Egyptian Restaurant
Enjoy a traditional Egyptian meal; you will find the food that meets your desire, whether you are a vegetarian or not.

Where do I start!!! A massive thankyou to Mr Akram and his team for creating amazing excursions giving you memorable experiences.
Right from the beginning, communication with Mr Akram was so professional, he attends to all your needs by listening to what it is you want to get out of your excursions and creates these amazing moments of a life time, all with the great connections he has. Nothing is too much of a hassle for Mr Akram, he answered all my questions thoroughly before I arrived.
Mr Akram showed me and my friend Hurghada City and bought us drinks, which was a lovely gesture for getting to know each other.
We went on two excursions whilst we were in Hurghada, one to Cairo and the other Luxor. Our hired car was very modern, clean and had AC, which gave us a great first impression.
A big shout out to our driver Hamada- what an amazing job he does, not enough credit is given. He drove so professionally and made us feel safe the entire time we were in his company.
A big shout out to Mushy our tour guide, what vast information she holds, absolutely amazing with great historical knowledge. She really gives you detailed information and takes her time explaining the finer details to you.
Overall our whole experience was amazing, many laughs along the way, many memories to treasure. Nothing is too much hassle for these lovely people, Mr Akram always made sure we were ok and enjoyed our experiences by checking in on us.
Drinks were always topped up ensuring we were hydrated all the time whilst on our tours.
If your thinking of booking with Palma tours, don't think just book, you will not regret it, right from the first communication you make with Mr Akram, things run so smoothly that's its literally stress free for when you arrive.
I can't thank Mr Akram, Hamada and Mushy enough, these three deserve well over 5 stars, and I'm already looking at my next trip for next year and I'm 1000% booking with yourselves again and Mushy and Hamada you'll be the people I'll be looking to hire again. Much love from Jill and Sobia (UK)
A very beautiful experience which made our stay in Egypt unforgettable; Luxor with a caring guide and Cairo with Ismaël; a very cultured guide who listens to the happiness of customers.
I would recommend this agency without hesitation
Everything was great. We did Cairo tour and Luxor. 7 pers with driver and guide. The trips was tiring, but it was worth it.
We received exactly the services reserved.
Great private tour to see desert and abandoned Roman ruins. Excellent service. We had private jeep, driver and tour guide. Amazing adventure, more than we expected. I strongly recommend this service. They can take you to some cool and unknown places far from main routes. Thank you for the amazing time!
Ashraf was our Egyptian professional guide for a Czech small group planned "Sacred journey to the chacra temples of Egypt".
As the title already says, not only were we using his incredible life experience of an egyptolog, tourist guide and organiser. We were also using his experience with the places themselves, which of the extra tickets are worth the money to visit the extra places, which of the villages and shops are fair and having good things.
And of course all the historical stories linked to the places we visited with open mind to some new more alternative explanations of happenings too.
The organisation of our trip from Hurghada, through Asuan, Luxor, Ghiza and back Hurghada is fully his expertise. Minivans, boat, train... He was always with us handling all to our happiness ❤️
Buying extra water, bananas or ordering better for stomach digestion food.
Great service. We had a wonderful time.
Our guide Abdel Salam was very kind, spoke excellent English and shared his extensive knowledge with us. We had a private AC car.
Visited most of the main sites in Cairo over two days.
Would highly recommend.
