A great chance to see Egypt’s main pyramids in one day. Beyond the Giza plateau, this tour includes Dahshur and Saqqara.

Dahshur

The Red Pyramid and the Bent Pyramid are believed to have been built by Pharaoh Sneferu, father of Khufu and founder of the 4th Dynasty, around 2613–2588 BC — though he was buried in neither. The Red Pyramid is one of the best preserved in Egypt, and the Bent Pyramid is famous for its unusual shape.

Saqqara

The Step Pyramid of Djoser, built around 2650 BC, is Egypt’s first pyramid and one of the great architectural achievements of the ancient world. You can also visit the tombs of the nobles with their well-preserved paintings.

Giza

The day ends at the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure and the Great Sphinx.

My friends and I had been planning a trip to Egypt for ages but kept putting it off — then it finally happened: cheap tickets and we all managed to get time off. Museums aren't really our thing; we wanted to see as many ancient sites as possible in one go, so we chose this tour. It's a real shame the pyramids at Dahshur and Saqqara aren't as well known — we found them even more interesting.

From Giza to lunch at the restaurant, it was an amazing day! The programme was very full. The Bent and Red pyramids were something incredible — I was struck by their grandeur and architecture. The Step Pyramid of Djoser and the tombs amazed me with their beauty; I spent a long time looking at every detail and listening to the guide's interesting facts. But the most impressive moment was the Giza plateau. Seeing the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure with your own eyes is unforgettable! The Great Sphinx left me speechless. This excursion in Egypt was an unforgettable experience.

I think the grandeur and fame of the Giza pyramids need no introduction — many people have heard of them and seen them. But the stop at Dahshur turned out to be extremely interesting for me as someone passionate about Egypt! Especially the so-called Bent Pyramid, with its changed angles and, remarkably, a second entrance on the south side. The guide explained it with several theories, all of which seem right and yet raise questions) Of course, standing next to these monuments takes your breath away, and the veil of mystery doesn't let go: "who?", "why?" and so on. I'm sure I'll come back again — an excellent excursion!
