Your highly qualified Egyptologist guide will meet you at any hotel within Cairo or Giza to start your amazing Giza Pyramids, Saqqara, and Dahshur tour from Cairo. Start the tour by visiting the two pyramids built for King Snefru in Dahshur, the Bent Pyramid which is somehow bent in the middle but this gave it its reputation and fame as the only pyramid retaining almost 70% of the outer casing material that other pyramids in Egypt.
The Red Pyramid, which is the 1sr perfectly-created pyramid to be built as a burial tomb for the King, although no evidence that Snefru was buried here, he owned 4 pyramids in total. You can enter the two pyramids to see the immense structure from the inside, the pyramids were built more than 4500 years ago during the beginning of the 4th dynasty of the Egyptian old kingdom, which is the pyramids building era.
Continue Egypt day tours to the site of Saqqara Necropolis to see the Step Pyramid complex of King Djoser, one of the most remarkable rulers of ancient Egypt during the 3rd dynasty. The pyramid reflects the development of the mastaba tombs to be a complete pyramid with the burial chamber underneath.
See also the Pyramid of King Teti and one of the tombs of the nobles, the tomb of Kagemni, one of the high officials who was the vizier of Justice during the sixth dynasty and King Teti was his father-in-law.
We will have our gourmet lunch before exploring the Giza Pyramids tour to see the enormous Pyramid of Cheops, son of Snefru, and the pyramid of Chephren and his son and successor King Mycerinus. Transfer to the plateau for great photos with the pyramids in the background. Enjoy an optional camel ride in Giza Pyramids before getting inside the mummification place of the king, the Valley Temple of Chephren, and his statue known as the Great Sphinx that was cut from the bedrock of the plateau in the shape of a lion with a pharaoh's head as a sign of intelligence and strength.
Now you will be transferred back to your hotel after your Cairo excursions are over.
