Your Itinerary

Saqqara – The Birthplace of the Pyramids

Your journey begins in Saqqara, one of Egypt's oldest royal necropolises.

Here, you'll visit the famous Step Pyramid of King Djoser, the world's oldest monumental stone structure.

Your Egyptologist will explain how the earliest mastabas evolved into the first pyramid and why the legendary architect Imhotep is still regarded as one of history's greatest architectural pioneers.

Dahshur – The Road to the Perfect Pyramid

Next, you'll travel to Dahshur, home to some of Egypt's most important pyramids.

The famous Bent Pyramid illustrates the challenges ancient Egyptian builders faced while perfecting pyramid construction.

You'll also visit the remarkable Red Pyramid, the first true smooth-sided pyramid in history. If you wish, you may even explore its interior.

Lunch

After visiting Dahshur, enjoy a freshly prepared lunch at a carefully selected local restaurant before continuing to the Giza Plateau.

Giza – The Perfect Wonder of the Ancient World

Your final destination is the world-famous Giza Plateau.

Here you'll stand before the magnificent Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, together with the legendary Great Sphinx.

As the only surviving Wonder of the Ancient World, Giza represents the culmination of centuries of architectural innovation—and the perfect conclusion to your journey through the history of pyramid building.
