What you'll see and do
Memphis and Sakkara
Memphis (Arabic: مَنْف, romanized: Manf, pronounced [mænf]; Bohairic Coptic: ⲙⲉⲙϥⲓ; Greek: Μέμφις), or Men-nefer, was the ancient capital of Inebu-hedj, the first nome of Lower Egypt that was known as mḥw ("North").[3] Its ruins are located in the vicinity of the present-day village of Mit Rahina (Arabic: ميت رهينة), in markaz (county) Badrashin, Giza, Egypt.[4] This modern name is probably derived from the late Ancient Egyptian name for Memphis mjt-rhnt meaning "Road of the Ram-Headed Sphinxes".[5] Along with the pyramid fields that stretch on a desert plateau for more than 30 kilometres (19 mi) on its west, including the famous Pyramids of Giza, Memphis and its necropolis have been listed as a World Heritage Site.[6] The site is open to the public as an open-air museum.

The Red Pyramid, also called the North Pyramid, is the largest of the pyramids located at the Dahshur necropolis in Cairo, Egypt. Named for the rusty reddish hue of its red limestone stones, it is also the third largest Egyptian pyramid, after those of Khufu and Khafre at Giza. It is also believed to be Egypt's first successful attempt at constructing a "true" smooth-sided pyramid. Local residents refer to the Red Pyramid as el-heram el-watwaat, meaning the Bat Pyramid. The Red Pyramid was not always red. It used to be cased with white Tura limestone, but only a few of these stones now remain at the pyramid's base, at the corner. During the Middle Ages much of the white Tura limestone was taken for buildings in Cairo, revealing the red limestone beneath.

Saqqara Pyramid
Saqqara (Arabic: سقارة, Egyptian Arabic pronunciation: [sɑʔːɑːɾɑ]), also spelled Sakkara or Saccara in English /səˈkɑːrə/, is an Egyptian village in the markaz (county) of Badrashin in the Giza Governorate,[1] that contains ancient burial grounds of Egyptian royalty, serving as the necropolis for the ancient Egyptian capital, Memphis.[2] Saqqara contains numerous pyramids, including the Pyramid of Djoser, sometimes referred to as the Step Tomb, and a number of mastaba tombs. Located some 30 km (19 mi) south of modern-day Cairo, Saqqara covers an area of around 7 by 1.5 km (4.3 by 0.9 mi).

Do not miss the Saqqara Tours!
We truly enjoyed this tour especially the Saqqara tombs and pyramids. We chose to go inside the Pyramids of Unas and Teti as it is easier to climb than the Red and Bent AND they are pyramids that have text writings which are amazing. Seeing them are amazing! Fatmah our Egyptologist guide is full of knowledge and gave us an understanding of the importance of the Saqqara Pyramids as well as the different chambers inside the tombs and what the hieroglyphics meant. I also love the tomb of Princess Idut. Fatmah spoke good English. Without her, we are just looking at bunch of walls and writings. Fatmah also took pictures of us, gave us some time to explore when we asked and did not rush us at all. Jo (Yousef) our driver made us feel safe and very polite. They were on time for pickup and accommodating when we said that we have to be back to the hotel around 2pm for our GEM tour later that day. What a smooth tour!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your fantastic review 🌟 We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the Saqqara Pyramids and tombs, and that Fatmah could bring the history and hieroglyphics to life for you. It’s wonderful to know you felt safe and comfortable with Jo (Yousef) and that the tour ran smoothly and on time. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we look forward to welcoming you on another amazing adventure in Egypt soon 😊✨ Best Regards,Emo Tours Swiss

So-so
The itinerary was respected but the guide was in a hurry to conclude. On the site to visit he said ten words, the other groups listened for ten words. The guide spoke good Italian
Response from the operator: Ci dispiace sapere che la guida è sembrata di fretta durante il tour. Apprezziamo il tuo feedback e lavoreremo per migliorare l’esperienza dei nostri ospiti, assicurandoci che ci sia più tempo per ogni sito in futuro. Cordiali saluti, Emo Tours Swiss Team

Private Full Day Tour Pyramid of Teti to Memphis and Saqqara: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does Private Full Day Tour Pyramid of Teti to Memphis and Saqqara cost?
+
Prices start at $40 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 Full Day Tour Pyramid of Teti to Memphis and Saqqara take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Full Day Tour Pyramid of Teti to Memphis and Saqqara worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Giza, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Full Day Tour Pyramid of Teti to Memphis and Saqqara?
+
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 Full Day Tour Pyramid of Teti to Memphis and Saqqara suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Full Day Tour Pyramid of Teti to Memphis and Saqqara?
+
Around 1 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Full Day Tour Pyramid of Teti to Memphis and Saqqara 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, Giza Pyramids VIP Private Tour ATV Camel Inside Pyramid & Lunch, Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Camel Ride, Lunch & Inside pyramids. 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.
