Saqqara to Giza: Discover the First Pyramid and the Great Pyramids of Egypt

Travel back in time to the age of the pharaohs and discover how Egypt’s legendary pyramid story first began. Our journey starts in Saqqara, the ancient necropolis that holds the world’s very first pyramid, built by the brilliant architect Imhotep for King Djoser more than 4,000 years ago. As you wander through this historic site, you’ll see how the idea of pyramid construction was born — a vision that would later shape one of the greatest civilizations on earth.

From there, we’ll continue to Giza, where the iconic Great Pyramids rise majestically from the desert sands. Stand before these awe-inspiring wonders and gaze at the enigmatic Sphinx, guarding them for millennia.

Along the way, I’ll share local stories, fascinating legends, and simple insights that bring the stones to life — helping you imagine the hands that built them and the world they once knew.

What an amazing day!

Standing in front of the Step Pyramid felt like traveling back in time, and then seeing the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx was truly breathtaking. The transport was comfortable, and the whole experience was smooth and well-organized. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Cairo!
