Private Day Trip from Hurghada to Saqqara, Memphis & Dahshur

Introduction

This Saqqara, Memphis and Dahshur day trip from Hurghada shows you how the Egyptian pyramids developed, from the first stepped pyramid to the first smooth-sided one. You travel privately with an English-speaking Egyptologist, in your own air-conditioned vehicle with no stops to pick up other passengers, and you set the pace at each site.

You visit Djoser's Step Pyramid, the Southern Tomb and the Pyramid of Unas at Saqqara, the colossal statue of Ramses II at Memphis, and the Red Pyramid and Bent Pyramid at Dahshur. These sites are quieter than the Giza plateau,which make them ideal if you have already seen Giza or want to go deeper into Egypt's history. Please note that this tour does not include the Giza Pyramids or the Grand Egyptian Museum; for those, see our private Cairo day trip. If you would rather visit the underground Serapeum of the Apis bulls instead of Memphis, see our Saqqara, Serapeum and Dahshur tour.
