Experiences we love designing here
Step Pyramid Day (Curated Timing + Guiding)
A focused site day with a guide who can actually tell the story—planned for light, temperature, and flow.
Add-On Pairing With Cairo Highlights
We sequence Saqqara around your Cairo itinerary so it feels natural—never like you’re cramming.
Where you'll stay
Typically designed as a half-day or full-day extension from Cairo (rarely an overnight). We handle driver timing, guiding, and pacing.
Trip building blocks
A Saqqara plan is about clarity: early departure, guided storytelling that makes the site feel alive, and return timing that leaves your Cairo evening intact.
Perfect if you love...
- History-first travelers who want a high-impact ancient site without an overstuffed day
- Guests who prefer a focused, well-guided experience over ‘seeing everything’
- Anyone pairing Cairo with more temple-heavy stops (Luxor/Aswan) and wanting a crisp intro
Maybe not if...
- Travelers who dislike sun, walking, and open-site conditions
- Guests who want only city life (restaurants/nightlife) with zero historic-site days
