Day Trip from Alexandria port to Saqqara

A day trip to Saqqara might be one of the most thrilling Egypt tours since it allows students to learn about the ancient Egyptian civilization and gives them the best chance to study its history and cultural legacy. Saqqara is a place where Egyptian tourists must visit, lying south of Cairo.This ancient city has some of the most magnificent monuments from the glorious history of Egypt, making it a necessary addition to all those people celebrating Egypt. Find this just at the Egypt shore excursions.

Cairo has several tour operators that organize day trips to Saqqara, offering visitors transportation from the site with guided tours of its monuments. The most notable of these is the Step Pyramid of Djoser, one of the oldest pyramids in the world, which was built circa 2650 BC. One-day visits to Saqqara bring up lots of historical treasures, including the Pyramid of Unas, the Tomb of Ti, and the Tomb of Userkaf, among many others, which have been stored very well and are altogether ancient treasures.

Day 01 Day Trip to Saqqara from Alexandria port

Experience a highly informative day trip to Saqqara, a captivating archaeological find in Egypt that lies some distance to the south of Cairo. The Step Pyramid itself, the Imhotep Museum, the Tomb of Mereruka, and the Ti Tomb are among the ancient Egyptian monuments that can be seen here. Enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant during our tour.

Our first destination in Alexandria Port Trip will be the Step Pyramid, which was built in the 27th century BC for Pharaoh Djoser. This pyramid is said to be the world's first true pyramid because it includes a unique six-step design in which each step is taller than the previous one.

Experience the magnificence of the Tomb of Mereruka, the most extensive and complex tomb in Saqqara, designed at the turn of the 24th century BC for Vizier Mereruka. This tomb has over 60 chambers overflowing with old riches. Then we go to the tomb of Ti, which belonged to Pharaoh Ti during the 14th century BC.

Starting from the pier, you can end the day with a peaceful Felucca sail down the Nile. Enjoy a BBQ lunch under the Egyptian sun, or perhaps check out Cairo's buzzing nightlife before we take you back to Alexandria Port.

We took a ride in the village of Slavia, but I couldn't find an option to review this activity
Because it is temporary so I found this company on the Internet, customer service staff is good, but the only US is not enough is that he can only brush cards online can not pay cash, hope to have the option of paying cash

We had a great afternoon
Leading our guide Ahmed people are good, we because of the previous trip delayed time, let him wait for us a while on the boat, up to the boat to discover the entire boat only us, he also gave us water and drinks, we saw the sunset on the boat to take pictures very carefully, the road Ahmed like we told the surrounding view, some understand some not understand, but this is the charm of travel
Finally arrived at the place where Ahmed was very good to support us in the upper edge, the youth who carried the rope was also reassured to give us, but there was no stubborn edge in the back of the supervision, on the road we would run for a while and walk very self-sufficient, in his body we were afraid and excited, and finally walked into the village of slavery, we went to eat slavery bread with black sugar and adult food, that servant and our soy milk taste super like soy milk, also drank black tea, because Arab coffee is interested so we also tried, the taste is very special. Finally we went to the school in Slavia for a class, really a classroom, we quickly learned some Arabic and Slavic, really too hard, but very happy, if not to rush back and gather, really want to slow down the whole village
