Memphis and Sakkara
The oldest structures in Cairo date back only to the last couple of centuries BC during Greco-Roman period; however, on the fringes of the city stand the Giza Pyramids, some of the oldest structures on Earth. Despite their proximity to Cairo, the difference in age between the pyramids and the city itself are proof of their different histories. The pyramids at Giza and elsewhere in the desert near Cairo are a part of the legacy of an older city and civilization that fell into decline long before Cairo was founded. This civilization named this area Memphis, which was the seat of power to the Old Kingdom (2686—2181 BC) of Ancient Egypt, home to the pharaohs that raised the pyramids.

Saqqara Pyramid
Saqqara is one of several other notable necropolis sites near Cairo that offer impressive sights and hold great archaeological significance. In fact, Saqqara may hold more interest to archaeologists than Giza. The huge site hosts burials dating from before the beginning of the Old Kingdom up through the Greek Period of Egyptian history. The most famous structure by far at Saqqara is Djoser’s Step Pyramid. Dating from the 3rd dynasty (2667—2448 BC), it was the first all-stone complex ever built on earth. It also displays an important architectural innovation for the construction of the Giza Pyramids and other later pyramids in the 4th dynasty and later. Djoser’s pyramid was the first to use multiple mastabas (rectangular tomb structures) stacked on top of one another to form a step pyramid.This construction set the stage for the smooth sides of the Giza Pyramids and the smaller 5th and 6th dynasty pyramids that are found at Saqqara and other sites nearby, such as Dahshur and Abu Sir.

The BEST Decision I Made in Egypt — Ask for Essam!
If you’re planning to visit the Pyramids of Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), do yourself a favor and book a private tour with Essam! Having him as my guide was hands down one of the best decisions I made during my trip to Egypt! From start to finish, everything was exceptionally organized, seamless, and perfectly timed. Essam is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, thorough, and genuinely passionate about making sure you have the best possible experience. What truly sets him apart is how much he goes above and beyond. He negotiated with vendors to get the best prices, explained all the available options so I could make informed decisions, and made sure I never felt pressured, overwhelmed, or taken advantage of as a tourist. He recommended an unforgettable camel ride by the pyramids and captured amazing photos and videos throughout the experience! At the GEM, he made sure I didn’t miss any of the museum’s incredible highlights, sharing fascinating history and details I would have never discovered on my own. The authentic Egyptian food he recommended was absolutely phenomenal! And just when I thought the day couldn’t get any better, he introduced me to a hidden gem where I had my name engraved in gold on an Egyptian cartouche. By far the most meaningful and beautiful souvenir I brought home from Egypt! Exploring a new country, especially iconic and busy tourist destinations like the pyramids, can sometimes feel overwhelming. With Essam, I didn’t have to worry about navigating, getting lost, missing something important, or being overcharged. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, allowing me to simply enjoy the experience and soak in the beauty and history of Egypt. Essam isn’t just a tour guide; he’s someone who genuinely cares about making your experience unforgettable. His professionalism, kindness, attention to detail, and dedication exceeded every expectation. I couldn’t recommend him enough! If you’re visiting Egypt, BOOK WITH ESSAM! You’ll leave with incredible memories, beautiful photos, a deeper appreciation for Egyptian history, and an experience worth every penny! 🇪🇬❤️

A jewel in the desert.
It was easy to be impressed with the subject matters of our private guided full day tour. The Great Pyramid (and its friends at Giza) and the Great Egyptian Museum. But without the wisdom and knowledge of our guide, Essam Khadrawy, it would have been just another day of sightseeing.. Essam has limitless knowledge as an Egyptologist and was able to some of his knowledge in an enthusiastic, engaging and relevant way. He also helped us stay out of the clutches of souvenir salesmen and to get value for our extras.Everything was as promised with a good clean van, a police driver, a knowledgeable guide, an interesting lunch and a couple of worthwhile fill in stops along the way. I highly recommend it.

Private Day Tour Giza Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara Pyramids: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does Private Day Tour Giza Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara Pyramids cost?
+
Prices start at $19 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Giza usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Day Tour Giza Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara Pyramids take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Giza is not rushed.
Is Private Day Tour Giza Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara Pyramids worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 92 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 660 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Giza, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Day Tour Giza Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara Pyramids?
+
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 Private Day Tour Giza Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara Pyramids suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Day Tour Giza Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara Pyramids?
+
Around 231 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 Giza 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 Giza and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Day Tour Giza Pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara Pyramids 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 Giza 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 Giza?
+
On Outty we rank every Giza experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Camel, ATV Bike, Shopping & Dinner Cruise, ViP Private Tour Giza Pyramids,camel ride , inside 3rd Pyramid, Giza Pyramids VIP Private Tour ATV Camel Inside Pyramid & Lunch. 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 Giza?
+
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 Giza?
+
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.
