Recharge with a tasty lunch at a reputable local restaurant.
In the afternoon, head to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), the newest and most expensive archaeological museum in the world. Discover a dazzling collection of pharaonic artifacts spanning Egypt’s dynastic periods.

Overnight in Cairo
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch
After breakfast, meet your professional Egyptologist guide and set out on a full-day tour to explore the origins of pyramid building in Egypt.
Begin at Saqqara, the royal necropolis of Egypt’s early dynasties. Here you'll visit the Step Pyramid of King Djoser, the world’s oldest monumental stone structure, built during the 27th century BCE by the famed architect Imhotep. Its stepped design marks a significant architectural evolution that paved the way for the Giza pyramids.
Continue to Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt, established by King Narmer around 3100 BCE. Although much of the original city has vanished, its open-air museum reveals remnants of its former glory—including the colossal statue of Ramses II and the elegant Alabaster Sphinx.
Conclude your journey at Dahshur, a lesser-visited but remarkable pyramid site. Discover the unique Bent Pyramid, which visibly shifts angle halfway up due to early design challenges, and the Red Pyramid, Egypt’s first true smooth-sided pyramid and third largest after the Great Pyramid and Khafre’s.
After exploring these ancient marvels, return to your Cairo hotel in comfort.
