Tour Overview
One private day in three stops, in this order: Giza pyramids and Sphinx, the Step Pyramid at Saqqara, then the open-air statues at Memphis. This itinerary is "Giza, Saqqara and Memphis". Named stops: Giza pyramids and Sphinx, Step Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara, Memphis open-air museum.
Giza is the famous skyline. Saqqara is where cut-stone pyramids begin. Memphis is the old capital: the fallen colossus of Ramses and the alabaster sphinx. Lunch sits between Saqqara and Memphis.
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.
