What you can expect

Uncover the history behind one of the world's oldest civilisations with a full-day tour to Memphis and Dashur. Explore the site that was the centre of Egyptian rule and culture for 3,000 years, see the pyramid tombs of its rulers, and benefit from the expertise of your own Egyptologist guide.

Begin at Memphis, founded by Pharaoh Menes in 3000 BC, and wander among its archaeological remains. Hear how its strategic location on the Nile Delta allowed it to remain a regional hub for trade, religion, and commerce for many thousands of years. Adjoining it is the site of Saqqara, the cemetery of Memphis and home to many pyramids. Discover who of the nobility was entombed here and marvel at its stepped Pyramid of Djoser.

Then discover the illustrious sights at Dashur, a royal necropolis lying on the edge of the desert. Here, find some of the oldest and best-preserved pyramids, including the unique Bent Pyramid and the very first smooth-sided one. Benefit from your guide's expertise as you gain a fascinating understanding of life in ancient Egypt, particularly of those who ruled over it.
