Tour Itinerary

A Journey Through Millennia
Your Giza Pyramids Saqqara Memphis Tour begins with a VIP pick-up from your hotel by your private Nile Empire tour guide. We kick off the adventure at the Giza Plateau, home to the legendary Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mycerinus. Stand in the shadow of the Great Sphinx, the guardian of the necropolis dating back to the reign of King Chephren, and explore the historic Valley Temple. Next, we delve deeper into history at Saqqara to view the Step Pyramid of Zoser. Built in the 3rd Dynasty for King Djoser, this architectural marvel holds the title of the world’s oldest major stone structure. The finale of your day takes you to Memphis. Founded by King Menes, this city served as the vibrant capital of Egypt during the Old Kingdom and remained a hub of rule and culture for over 3,000 years. Here, you will marvel at the limestone Colossus of Ramses II and the beautiful Alabaster Sphinx.

Our experience with Nile Empire was excellent from start to finish. Soliman helped us redesign our Egypt trip on very short notice and customized everything around our schedule, including internal flights, hotels, and a Nile cruise. We loved that all sightseeing tours were private, giving us flexibility throughout the trip. The guides, drivers, and overall organization were outstanding, and we never had to worry about anything during our stay in Egypt. The Nile cruise between Aswan and Luxor was one of the highlights of our trip, and the additional tours to Abu Simbel, Dendera, and the Nubian Village made the experience even more special. We highly recommend Nile Empire for anyone looking for a reliable and professionally organized Egypt tour.
