Private Full-Day Guided Tour from Cairo to Alexandria

In the early morning, a Five S Travel tour guide will meet you at your hotel in Cairo to begin an exciting exploration of some of Egypt’s most historic sites:

First, visit the ancient city of Memphis, which served as the capital of Lower Egypt during the 3rd millennium BC. Situated on the west bank of the Nile River delta, Memphis is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1979. Here, you’ll find the archaeological area featuring vast necropolises and the impressive colossal statues of Ramses II, one of Egypt’s greatest builders.

Next, journey to Saqqara to see the Pyramids of King Djoser. Constructed by the architect Imhotep, this pyramid is unique as it was the first true pyramid ever built in ancient Egypt, predating those at Giza. This historic monument consists of six stacked mastabas, designed as a step pyramid, symbolizing a stairway to the heavens.

Continue your tour to Dahshur to explore the famous Red Pyramid, built by King Sneferu. This limestone pyramid is considered Egypt’s first successful “true” pyramid and is the second largest in the country after the Great Pyramid of Khufu at Giza. Located approximately 10 kilometers south of Saqqara, the Red Pyramid stands about 100 meters tall with each side of its square base measuring 188 meters.

Once your fascinating tour concludes, you will be comfortably transferred back to your hotel in Cairo.
