Full Day Tour to Visit Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Sakkara, and Dahshur**
Embark on an unforgettable journey through ancient Egypt’s most iconic landmarks with this full-day tour. This immersive experience takes you back in time to explore the wonders of the Giza Plateau, the ancient necropolis of Sakkara, and the lesser-known but equally fascinating pyramids of Dahshur. Here’s what you can expect :

Morning : Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx**
Your adventure begins at the **Giza Plateau**, home to the majestic **Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops)**, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Marvel at the sheer scale and precision of the pyramids of **Khafre** and **Menkaure**, and learn about the engineering marvels that have stood the test of time for over 4,500 years.
Next, visit the enigmatic **Great Sphinx**, the colossal limestone statue with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh. Hear the myths and mysteries surrounding this iconic guardian of the pyramids.
You’ll also have the opportunity to explore the **Valley Temple**, a fascinating structure used in the mummification process.

Midday : Sakkara – The Step Pyramid Complex**
After Giza, head to **Sakkara**, the vast necropolis of the ancient capital, Memphis. Here, you’ll discover the **Step Pyramid of Djoser**, the world’s oldest stone pyramid, designed by the brilliant architect Imhotep. Explore the surrounding complex, including temples, tombs, and courtyards, and gain insight into the evolution of pyramid construction.
You’ll also have the chance to visit some of the beautifully decorated tombs of nobles, adorned with vivid hieroglyphs and scenes of daily life in ancient Egypt.

Afternoon : Dahshur – The Bent and Red Pyramids**
Your final stop is **Dahshur**, a quieter and less-visited site that offers a glimpse into the experimental phase of pyramid building. Here, you’ll see the **Bent Pyramid**, named for its unique shape, and the **Red Pyramid**, the first true smooth-sided pyramid in Egypt. These structures mark a significant transition in architectural techniques and are a must-see for history enthusiasts.
