Tour Overview
The pyramid story in order: Giza, the Step Pyramid at Saqqara, the statues at Memphis, then the Bent and Red pyramids at Dahshur. This itinerary is "Giza, Saqqara, Memphis and Dahshur". Named stops: Giza plateau, Saqqara Step Pyramid, Memphis open-air museum, Bent Pyramid.
Memphis is added before Dahshur so the old capital sits between Saqqara and the experimental pyramids, not as an extra at the end of the day.
On the Giza plateau the walking line is Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure — three kings, not one photo stop from the parking lot. Saqqara is the older experiment: Djoser’s step pyramid, where cut stone architecture begins. Memphis is the old capital laid out on the ground: the fallen colossus of Ramses and an open-air garden of statues. Dahshur is quieter: the Bent and Red pyramids, where the builders were still learning how a true pyramid should stand.
