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!

Very kind and profesional people.
In every trip that I went with them, all details were taking care of.
Ashraf is the most knowledgeable tour guide that I ever met in my life.
You will go on a trip and come back as friends.
I highly recommend golavita Tours!
We booked a tour with Golavita, Mr Akram was very quick to respond to our questions and checked in with us daily to see how the tour was going.
Waleed, the tour guide, was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The bottles of water to keep us hydrated was also a very nice addition.
The private transport was top class, modern air conditioned vehicles and friendly and helpful drivers.
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.
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!
For a party of five a luxor trip was organized by Akram and his team. With the excellent guide Ashraf in Luxor they made it a unforgettable experience. Thank you for the good organisation of the trip.
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!
