Your WOW tours Egypt guide will be waiting for you at the lobby of your Hotel. He will be holding a sign showing your name.

Start your tour in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle to visit Saqqara.

Saqqara offers a journey back to the dawn of ancient Egyptian civilization. Saqqara, often referred to as the “Step to Eternity,” is home to Egypt’s oldest pyramid—The Step Pyramid dedicated to king Djoser. Designed by the legendary architect Imhotep around 2700 BCE, The Step Pyramid marked the beginning of monumental stone construction. Saqqara’s vast necropolis reveals layers of history, from mastaba tombs with colorful scenes of daily life to later pyramids and burial complexes, each with a story to tell about ancient rituals and beliefs.

Then head south to Dahshur to visit The southern pyramid of Dahshur known as The Bent Pyramid, built by Pharaoh Sneferu around 2600 BCE. Its unique shape—beginning at a steep angle and then suddenly changing—reveals the trial-and-error process that early builders faced while perfecting the pyramid design. Then visit The Northern pyramid of Dahshur, known as The Red Pyramid stands as the first successful attempt at a smooth-sided pyramid and is often considered the prototype for the Great Pyramid of Giza. Its reddish limestone core gives it a distinct appearance, and visitors can still explore its interior chambers to experience the awe of ancient craftsmanship firsthand.

Dahshur offers more than just monumental structures—it also provides a quiet, atmospheric experience away from the crowds, where visitors can walk in the footsteps of Egypt’s early kings and feel the spirit of experimentation that shaped Egypt’s most enduring architectural legacy.

Enjoy a delicious lunch at local restaurant.
