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.

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.

Relaxation Back to Your Drop-off Point

(5/5)
We had a great quad bike ride in the afternoon. The guide had a great energy and humor that made the tour extra good. On the way to the tour we had a driver that shouldn't be driving tourist, but when we told it to the company they gave us a another driver that drove perfect so we could relax in the car. That's a good and professional way of handling a problem. We can recommend this company.

Excellent private tour with a very knowledgeable , intelligent and tour guide. Ashraf went the extra mile to make sure our two day trip went smoothly and took us to all the best sites in Luxor. He also gave detailed interesting information throughout. He also has a fun character and was fun to talk to outside the tour!

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.

The luxor 2 day trip was amazing. We have young children who struggled at times, but the guide and driver were fantastic. Everyone enjoyed the historical sites, and the hot air balloon ride was incredible. I would definitely recommend this trip and this company.
