Begin your visit at the Step Pyramid of King Djoser, the world’s first large-scale stone monument. Enter the Pyramid of Unas (if open), famous for the earliest known Pyramid Texts carved into its walls. Walk through the Old Kingdom tombs to see vibrant scenes of daily life in ancient Egypt. Learn how pyramid building evolved and the importance of Saqqara as a royal and religious burial ground.

Depart Saqqara and Drive to Giza. Stand in awe before the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the largest of the three. View the Pyramid of Khafre and Pyramid of Menkaure from up close. Visit the Panoramic Point for stunning photos of all three pyramids together. Get up close to the iconic Great Sphinx and explore the Valley Temple.

I'm a freelance tour guide with over 10 years of experience sharing the wonders of Egypt with travelers from around the world. Born and raised in this land of ancient treasures, I was inspired to become a guide to connect people with the stories, culture, and spirit of my country. I specialize in personalized, storytelling-style tours that bring history to life—whether exploring iconic sites like the pyramids, Luxor, and Aswan, or the hidden corners of Cairo and the desert oases. I'm certified in tourism and fluent in English, and I’ve traveled extensively across Egypt and visited several countries abroad, which helps me connect with people from different cultures. My goal is to make every tour educational, friendly, and unforgettable—just like Egypt itself.
