Giza is the finished product. This is the research and development, and it is more interesting. The Step Pyramid at Saqqara is the first monumental stone building anywhere. At Dahshur the Bent Pyramid shows the moment the angle was changed mid-construction, and the Red Pyramid next to it is the first true pyramid that worked. Fewer visitors, more space.
Pickup at 08:00. Saqqara first for the Step Pyramid complex and the Serapeum, Memphis for an hour around midday, then Dahshur in the afternoon when the desert light is better and the site is nearly empty.
Send us the dates and how many people are travelling, by WhatsApp or the form on this page. We reply with a written itinerary and a fixed price, usually within a few hours. Confirming is a message, not a payment.
No. We ask for no deposit and take no payment to hold a date. Nothing is charged when you book and nothing is payable in advance - you settle with us in Egypt once the trip is running.
Tell us and we will change it, or cancel it, at no cost. There is no cancellation fee and no deadline to worry about, because nothing has been paid up front. If plans shift while you are already here, we will rearrange what we can on the day.
The tourist regions are heavily policed and we work in them daily. Your guide stays with you at every site. If you are travelling alone, tell us - we will match you with a guide accordingly.
