 Day 1: Makadi Bay to Cairo – Saqqara & Giza Pyramids

Your Cairo adventure begins with a comfortable private transfer from your hotel in Makadi Bay. The scenic road journey to Cairo typically takes around 5-6 hours. Upon arrival in the Cairo region, your expert guide will meet you to ensure the best of your trip and provide all the historical information. Your first destination will be the Saqqara Step Pyramid Complex, a historic archaeological site and Egypt’s oldest pyramid complex. Here, you will explore:

Unas Pyramid

Admire this pyramid, notable for its unique Pyramid Texts, the earliest known religious texts inscribed on a tomb, offering profound insights into the pharaoh’s journey to the afterlife and astral projection.

Princess Idut Tomb

Explore this remarkably preserved tomb, renowned for its vibrant, detailed reliefs depicting daily life and offering a rare glimpse into noble burials.

Djoser Pyramid

Visit the iconic Step Pyramid itself, built by the genius Imhotep, Pharaoh Djoser’s vizier, who transformed royal tombs forever. You can see the Serdab (which housed the Ka statue of the pharaoh), the court of the Heb Sed Festival, and the Houses of the North and South.

Lunch

Enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant in the Saqqara area, surrounded by palm trees. You will be welcomed with live music and can observe women baking the traditional bread you will enjoy.

Giza Pyramids

Chephren Pyramid (Khafre Pyramid)

The second largest pyramid, unique for its original limestone casing at the top.

Valley Temple (Mortuary Temple of Khafre)

This well-preserved temple is believed by some historians to be the place where the king was mummified and practice the rituals of Opening of the Mouth.

The Great Sphinx

Marvel at the imposing Great Sphinx, the gigantic statue with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh. Your guide will share the story of the Dream Stele and the mysteries surrounding the Sphinx’s chambers, believed by some to be an astral gate connected to the secrets of lost Atlantis.
