The Step Pyramid of Sakkara is considered an evolution in the concept of pyramids, from the simple mastaba to the pyramids in its final form in the region in Sakkara It was built as step pyramid, its height is 60 meters and consists of 6 steps on top of each other, and each is smaller than the one below. From the Step Pyramids, we transfer to Memphis which was founded by King Menes and was the capital of Old Egypt during the Old Kingdom.

Full-Day Cairo Adventure
This jam-packed Cairo tour was incredible! We explored the iconic Pyramids of Giza, marvelling at their size and history with our expert guide. The Great Sphinx was equally awe-inspiring. In the afternoon, we journeyed back in time at Saqqara, home to the ancient Step Pyramid. We also explored the ruins of Memphis, Egypt's once-great capital.

Great informative and fun filled experience
A great experience with the guide and driver both professional and fun. The guide was very knowledgeable and provided invaluable information about the history of the sites. Additionally, the driver always picked me up at the agreed time and was never late.

Two day private tour, solo female trailer with female Tour Guide
As a solo female traveler coming to Egypt I was skeptical of who I would be booking with, and who would be my guide. I was lucky enough to be placed with Rasha yehia Mubarak.She is an egyptologist and is very passionate about her work. On the first day we visited Memphis, Sakkara, Giza pyramids, and the Great Sphinx. It was full of tourists (of course it is its a great wonder) , but I never felt rushed or like I was missing out on any important information.At the pyramid, she helped me negotiate prices for camel rides and a headscarf. For lunch, we stopped at a buffet that she had pre-packed with a wonderful view of the pyramids.Day 2 was when we visited the Egyptian Museum where she went above and beyond, explaining all of the artifacts, in great detail . Then we visited Mosoue of Muhammad Ali it was a beautiful stop that you won't want to miss. Very instagram worthy. At every location Rasha was always ready to help take pictures and knew of all the best spots to get the perfect shot. Next, Old Cairo and the Khan El Khalili bazaar were a little crowded due to it being Friday, which is when everyone has the day off. The last stop was a ride down the Nile in a felucca, the views were amazing!! We ended our day at a kosher restaurant, which was delicious. Rasha yehia Mubarak was very accommodating to all my needs and I felt safe with her. I will be recommending her to all my friends back home who are anxiously waiting to hear about my trip to Egypt.

Full Day Tour to Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Full Day Tour to Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara cost?
+
Prices start at GBP 42 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cairo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full Day Tour to Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cairo is not rushed.
Is Full Day Tour to Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cairo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Tour to Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Full Day Tour to Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 2. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Tour to Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cairo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cairo and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Tour to Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cairo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cairo?
+
On Outty we rank every Cairo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include All-in-One Giza Tour, inside Pyramid, sphinx, Camel ride & lunch, VIP Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx Tour –Inside the Pyramids&More, Best of Cairo Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and Grand Museum Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cairo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cairo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
