Saqqara, Dahshur and Memphis day trip from Cairo
Saqqara, Dahshur and Memphis can be combined in a private day by vehicle from Cairo. EgyRoam's six-to-seven-hour starting plan is driver-led, from $95 for two; an Egyptologist is an optional addition. Check the pickup, route, included site tickets and optional interiors in your quote. Opening hours, traffic and your group's pace affect the final plan.
These sites offer different parts of the pyramid story: Djoser's Step Pyramid at Saqqara, the Bent and Red Pyramids at Dahshur, and the open-air museum at Memphis. Combining them gives you a day beyond the Giza Plateau without assuming each stop needs the same amount of time.
Plan the route and ticket scope together
The sites are spread out, so the itinerary needs transport between them. Agree the pickup location, stop order, breaks and finish point. Ask which site admissions, tombs and pyramid interiors are included; an optional interior may need a separate ticket and time. Access can change, so review the actual date rather than relying on an old itinerary.
With or without a guide
A driver handles the transport; an Egyptologist adds guided explanation of the monuments and their history. Decide which experience you want before comparing quotes. For an interior visit, also ask about the passage, stairs, heat and whether an exterior-only option better suits your group.
How EgyRoam runs it
The listed starting estimate is $95 for a party of two with a driver. Request an Egyptologist if you would like a guided day; availability, ticket scope, extras and the final price are reviewed in your quote.
