Tour Details:
We will pick you up at your hotel in Hurghada; You will recognize our driver by the sign with your name in his hands. Throughout our journey to the north, we will make some stops so that you can admire and capture the beauty of the Egyptian landscape.
First of all, you will visit the ancient capital  of Memphis with its ruins, huge statues of Pharaoh Ramses II and the Alabaster Sphinx. And then you will visit Saqqara, the ancient cemetery of Memphis, with its monumental tombs of different shapes and in huge numbers (flat, covered, rectangular). One of the most famous is undoubtedly the Step Pyramid of Djoser, a monument that is more than 4600 years old. You will definitely visit the tomb of King Djoser, which was built by his vizier and one of the greatest sages Imhotep, after whom the museum (Imhotep Museum) was named, where you will also visit.
We will then take you to Dahshur, the royal necropolis, where there are numerous pyramids and tombs. The most impressive of these are those built by Pharaoh Snefru. Sneferu wanted to create a concept for the construction of pyramids, which today we call “proper” pyramids. We will show you the Bent Pyramid (so named for its bizarre shape), which the architect himself considered unsuccessful and therefore proceeded to his next masterpiece, the Pink Pyramid (the name is associated with the color of the facing stone, which turns pink in the rays of the setting sun), which turned out to be a true masterpiece with a smooth surface. Not only is it beautiful and well-preserved to this day, but to this day it carries many secrets, since it has not yet been determined to whom this tomb belongs. The Pink Pyramid is considered one of the largest pyramids, although inferior to the pyramids of Cheops and Chephren (by the way, the pyramids of the pharaoh’s son and grandson Snefer), one of the most famous pyramids in Giza.
The next pyramid you’ll see is the Black Pyramid, which is unfortunately very badly damaged, as the low location allowed water to seep into the walls and myriad corridors. These structural problems led to instability and the walls cracked. The spectacle of the pyramid itself is impressive (if a bit creepy), but it’s worth seeing.
In the evening you will drive back to your hotel in Hurghada.
