If you want to see the first pyramid ever built in Egypt, Saqqara and Memphis are a common addition to a Pyramids-day itinerary.
The Step Pyramid of Djoser: considered the world's oldest large stone building, and the original concept behind the pyramids later built at Giza.
Memphis Open-Air Museum: Memphis was the capital of ancient Egypt, and its massive reclining statue of Ramesses II is one of the site's most famous pieces.
Crowds: Saqqara and Memphis are far less crowded than the Giza plateau, making for a quieter visit for history lovers.
Distance from Cairo: relatively close to Giza, so it's easily combined with the Pyramids and Sphinx in the same day's itinerary.
If you want to combine Saqqara and Memphis with the Pyramids in one day, that's exactly the kind of itinerary we build in our private sightseeing tour service.
