Description
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.

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!

- 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)
- 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.
- 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!
- We had booked airport transfers from Hurgada airport to our resort in May 2022 and our experience was excellent. What sets this company apart was the responsive service we got through WhatsApp messaging. You may not be aware of this but meeting a taxi driver at airport is not so easy or obvious as the security personnel does not allow drivers in or even standing by the entrance. It all was resolved easily by WhatsApp communication. I cannot overstate how important is having a rapid response when something does not go as you would expect. Thank you Ashraf. I am aware this company does much more than airport transfers: while I did not use any during my stay, I wouldnot hesitate to recommend this organisation to plan for your excursion needsin Hurghada.Update April 2023: Used them again for this trip booking through Hoppa, same excellent service.
- 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.
- 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.
- Really great day out, Akram , knowledgeable and fun,Akram was good company. A really excellent itinerary and experience, with all the hassle taken out and a lot of positives added in. Highly recommended to everyone!
- 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
- I had an unforgettable overnight trip to the Sataya-Dolphin House. Great organization and easy communication. All of my wishes were taken into account and fulfilled. Thank's a lot!
