What to Expect on the Pyramids Excursion Day Tour
Your Pyramids Excursion Day Tour begins with an early start, as we pick you up from your hotel in Hurghada at 2:00 am. Prepare for a 5-hour scenic drive to Sakkara, where you’ll meet your private Egyptologist guide, ready to share with you the secrets and stories of Egypt’s ancient history.
Sakkara: The Step Pyramid of King Djoser
Our first stop is Sakkara, home to the oldest large stone structure in the world—the Step Pyramid of King Djoser. Built in the 3rd Dynasty around 2650 BC, this pyramid marks the first leap in the evolution of Egyptian pyramid construction. You’ll have the chance to explore this incredible site and learn about its significance in the development of ancient Egyptian architecture.
Dahshur: The Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid
Next, we head to Dahshur, located just 10 km south of Sakkara. Here, you’ll visit the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid, both built by King Senefru in the 4th Dynasty. The Red Pyramid, named for its distinctive reddish stones, is considered the first true pyramid ever built. Meanwhile, the Bent Pyramid offers a unique look at the experimentation that took place before perfecting pyramid construction. This stop is a fascinating window into the architectural advancements that led to the creation of the great pyramids of Giza.
After a morning of exploration, we’ll pause for a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, where you can relax and recharge for the rest of the day’s adventures.
Giza: The Great Pyramids and the Sphinx
The highlight of the Pyramids Excursion Day Tour awaits in the afternoon as we travel to Giza. Here, you’ll stand in awe before the last remaining wonder of the ancient world—the Great Pyramid of Cheops—along with the pyramids of Chephren and Mycerinus. As you walk through the pyramid plateau, you’ll learn about the incredible history behind these colossal structures and their enduring mystery.
Before we leave, we’ll pay a visit to the iconic Great Sphinx of Giza, also known as Abu El Hol. This 3,000-year-old guardian of the pyramids is a symbol of ancient Egypt’s grandeur and enigmatic past.
