Day Excursion to the Pyramids from Port Ghalib

Departing from Port Ghalib, enjoy an amazing day tour to the Giza Pyramids, Memphis, and Saqqara, which are among the most ancient sites in Egypt. Obeying the protocol from the coach’s vantage point, a brief ride will take you to Giza, where the visit of the day begins: probably the most renowned site in the country, the Giza Pyramids – three pyramids built to honor the King Khufu – Cheops, Khafre – Chepren, and Menkaure, that were built betwixt 2589 to 2465 B.C. Roam inside the Great Pyramid, the most open structure in the world that has been standing on the Giza Plateau for more than 4500 years, and which dominated the skyline as the tallest building in the entire world.

Ride a camel and take some pictures in the sands of the Giza Plateau as it would be quite hard not to miss these enjoyable activities when you visit Egypt. After that, you’ll make pauses at Memphis, a former port city on the Nile, and visit temples and other structures belonging to the earliest period of ancient Egyptian civilization. The excursion proceeds to the Memphis Necropolis, best known for its famous temples and burial sites.

The last place we go is Saqqara — another large burial ground that is most recognized for the famous Djoser’s Step Pyramid built around 2630 B.C and its other tombs which give one an interesting overview of ancient Egypt. 

We shall bring you back to your hotel at Port Ghalib after this adventure-filled day.
