Itinerary

Tour to Giza Pyramids and Sakkara

Your English-speaking Egyptologist guide will pick you up at Alexandria port. Then, you will drive to Cairo, about 3 hours from Alexandria, to see the Giza Plateau, home to Egypt's most famous attractions. You can decide how long you spend at each site with your Egyptologist guide. Your Egyptologist guide will introduce you to each pyramid: Cheops, Khafre, and Menkaure. Your guide will not be allowed to accompany you to any pyramid. You can also go on a camel ride (optional) for an additional fee. You will then continue to the plateau to take photos of the pyramids rising from the sands with the Cairo skyline as background. You will find yourself at the feet of the Sphinx, the mysterious symbol of Egypt for thousands of years. You can also visit the Solar Boat Museum in Giza (optional cost). This museum houses the impressively preserved funerary boat Khufu. The next stop is Sakkara, Egypt's oldest cemetery. The Step Pyramid of King Zoser, the world's oldest known monumental stone structure, will be visited. You will see one of the stunning Mastabas (burial rooms) of Ptahhotep, Idut, or Kagemni. You will visit a Papyrus Institute to learn more about papyrus paper and purchase authentic items. You will then be taken back to Alexandria Port by your cruise ship driver after your tour is over. The tour takes between 11 and 12 hours.
