Skip Giza Crowds, Go Here Instead | Saqqara & Memphis

Did you know the world's first pyramid and a mysterious "hidden" Sphinx are just a short drive from Giza? 🇪🇬 In this Egypt travel guide, we take you on the ultimate day trip from Cairo to Saqqara and Memphis—the ancient capitals that many tourists miss!

If you're a 9-5 traveler with limited vacation time, you might think you only have time for the Great Pyramids. But we found that visiting the Step Pyramid of Djoser and the Memphis Open Air Museum offers a way better experience with zero crowds. From the massive Colossus of Ramses II to the underground mysteries of the Serapeum, here is why this day trip needs to be on your Egypt itinerary.
