Tour to Giza Pyramids, Dahshur, and Meidum Pyramids

Step back in time nearly 200 years before the era of King Cheops, the renowned ruler of the Great Pyramid of Giza, whose legacy continues to fascinate scientists today. Our Cairo Day Tours offer a journey to the ancient necropolis of the Old Kingdom's capital, where you'll explore some of Egypt's most iconic structures. Visit Dahshur to see the first perfectly shaped Red Pyramid and the Bent Pyramid, then marvel at the Pyramid of Snefru, also known as the Meidum Pyramid. These impressive monuments, built almost 4,700 years ago, were designed to immortalise the names of Egypt's kings and rulers who shaped the golden age of Egyptian history.

A Cairo Top Tours representative will meet you in the hotel lobby to begin your tour of Egypt’s ancient monuments, starting with the iconic Pyramids of Giza. You’ll first visit the Meidum archaeological site, home to a step pyramid built for King Snefru, father of King Cheops, who is known for the Great Pyramid at Giza. Afterward, you’ll be transferred to Dahshur to see two more pyramids from the 4th Dynasty of the Old Kingdom.

At Dahshur, you’ll explore the Bent Pyramid, which has a distinctive curve due to its sloping sides, and the Red Pyramid, the third-largest pyramid in Egypt after those of King Cheops and King Chephren. The tour then continues to the Giza Plateau, where you'll marvel at the Great Pyramids of Giza, built for three kings of the Fourth Dynasty. Stand in awe of the Great Pyramid of Cheops, which has towered for over 4,500 years, and the Great Sphinx of King Chephren, a majestic figure with the body of a lion and the head of a man, symbolising strength and wisdom. You’ll also have the option of a camel ride around the Giza Pyramids, perfect for capturing memorable photos of your incredible Egypt tour. Lunch will be served either during your Egypt Day Tour or at the end of your Cairo trip.
