Enrich your post-night stay in Cairo with a visit to Sakkara, the sweeping necropolis and pyramid field of Memphis, Egypt’s first Capital. This is where pyramid building first began, 47 centuries ago, when chief architect Imhotep built the grand step pyramid in honor of King Djoser. With the expert guidance of a local Egyptologist, enjoy a visit of this expansive burial complex, counting 11 pyramids and the impressive Serapeum, the burial site of the sacred Apis bulls. A perfect addition to your visit of Egypt, your intensive exploration of Sakkara concludes with lunch in a local restaurant, before returning to your hotel mid-afternoon. The optional tour is operated by a local representative and requires guests to have a post-night hotel stay in Cairo. This optional tour is not available when purchasing a post tour extension.
