Stunning Day Tour to Saqqara Treasures from Cairo Airport

In the morning, your private tour guide will pick you up from Cairo International Airport in a beautiful air-conditioned sedan or van and drive you to the World of the Pharaohs, where you may explore the exhibits and learn about their lives.

For thousands of years, one of the principal cemeteries for Memphis, the ancient Egyptian capital city, was on the desert plateau above the modern hamlet of Saqqara. As a result, it attracted multiple royal and high-status burials, the remains of which can be seen in pyramids and complex tombs.

Saqqara is home to numerous pyramids, including the well-known Step Pyramid of King Djoser, Egypt's oldest pyramid, with its spectacular temple, columns way, and the house of the north and the south.

Other remarkable painted graves of senior officials in ancient Egypt include the tomb of vizier Kagemni, which features unique decorations and scenarios, and the tomb of the ancient doctor Ankhmahor. You can also visit and enter King Unas' pyramid, which is notable for the wonderful texts it contains, as well as King Titi's little pyramid.

The largest Old Kingdom tomb at Saqqara, which also happens to be Meriruka's most magnificent structure, emphasises the king's critical role as a rival through wall relief of the interior courtyard and entrance gateway.

You will also see coloured scenes in the tombs of the nobility, including those of the two brothers Niankhnom and Khnomhotep, and Irukaptah, which displays well-known images of everyday life in ancient Egypt.

The new dynasty also used Saqqara's Necropolis, allowing tourists to witness the more elaborately painted tombs of Maya, who administered the Treasury under Pharaohs Tutankhamun and Horemheb.
including a visit to Imhotep's museum, the architect of Ancient Egypt's step pyramid.
The museum is divided into six massive halls filled with Saqqara-related paintings.

Finally, an absolutely great excursion to the Serapeum! It was fascinating to walk via a long underground tunnel that led to a burial site for Apis, sacred bulls, and countless massive antique sarcophagi.

Afterward, you'll board the Felucca, a traditional Egyptian boat, at the pier for a leisurely cruise along the Nile, where you can experience Cairo's famous nightlife or bask in the sun during the day and eat a BBQ lunch. Following that, we will transport you back to the airport.
