About this experience
People think that there are only three pyramids in Egypt, but that's not true. There are more than 108 pyramids in the country, and we will head to the vicinity of Dahshur, Giza, and Saqqara to visit some of them. You will see the Step, Bent, and Red Pyramids. You will understand how the ancient necropolises differed from each other. Learn about the mummification process and listen to interesting stories about the lives of the pharaohs and their wives.
What to Expect
The first Egyptian pyramid was built in the area of Saqqara, then the necropolis of Dahshur appeared, and finally, in the Giza area, the three most famous pyramids were erected along with the Sphinx.
We will take you around Giza, Dahshur, and Saqqara so you can see all the pyramids located there. We will explain the principles of building necropolises and share fascinating stories about the life and death of the pharaohs.
