Saqqara day trip from Cairo: six tours compared
A Saqqara day trip from Cairo on this site costs from $60, and six listings go there. Two share that price: an eight-hour tour of the Giza Pyramids, the Sphinx and Sakkara that ends in Memphis, with lunch, and a Memphis, Sakkara and Dahshur trip whose listing gives no length. Private versions run five to 7.5 hours for $83 to $165. Three listings state lunch. They suit visitors who want the step pyramid, Memphis or Dahshur explained by a guide in one outing.

What a Saqqara day trip from Cairo covers here
The listing names spell it Sakkara; one description spells it Saqqara. It is the same place, and all six tours on this page stop there. What changes from one listing to the next is what comes with it: Memphis, Dahshur, the Giza Pyramids, lunch, and whether the guide is yours alone.
Memphis is the commonest companion: five of the six include it, and two descriptions say the tour ends there. Dahshur appears in four listings; one describes the oldest smooth pyramid there and the famous step pyramid at Sakkara. Three listings add the Giza Pyramids, so a Saqqara day trip from Cairo can also cover the Great Pyramid if it is still on your list.
Lunch is stated in three: the two Giza, Sakkara and Memphis tours and the six-hour tour for archaeology buffs, which describes Egyptian food at a traditional restaurant. One listing calls itself all-inclusive in its name without saying what that covers. None of the six descriptions mentions hotel pickup or entrance fees, so read the inclusions on the listing before you pay.

Durations, ratings and review counts as the listings show them on 13 October 2026.
- Giza, Sakkara and Memphis with lunch — $60, 8 hours
The most reviewed of the six: 2,630 reviews at 4.5. A full day that takes in the Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx, goes on to Sakkara and ends in Memphis. Lunch is in the name.
- Memphis, Sakkara and Dahshur — $60, length not stated
Same price, different route: Memphis, Sakkara and the Dahshur Pyramids, no Giza. The listing gives no duration, so check it before you plan the rest of the day. Rated 4.5 from 535 reviews.
- Sakkara, Memphis and Dahshur, private — $83, 5 hours
The same three places as a private trip. The listing gives five hours; its description calls it a day-long journey. Rated 4.6 from 518 reviews, the highest of the four listings here with more than 20 reviews.
- Giza, Sakkara and Dahshur, private — $103, 7 hours
No Memphis on this one. A private guided day with the smooth pyramid at Dahshur, the step pyramid at Sakkara and the Great Pyramid of Giza. The name says all-inclusive; check the listing for what that covers. Rated 4.5 from 401 reviews.
- Memphis and Sakkara for archaeology buffs — $115, 6 hours
Despite the name, the description adds Dahshur: Saqqara, Memphis and Dahshur, with Egyptian food at a traditional restaurant. Rated 4.7 on 18 reviews, so treat that rating as early.
- Giza, Sakkara and Memphis, private, with lunch — $165, 7.5 hours
The private version of the first tour, with the same description word for word. It costs $105 more and is rated 4.4 on 11 reviews.

The pyramids guide→Is it worth it?
Is a Saqqara day trip from Cairo worth the price?
Per hour, the $60 eight-hour tour costs $7.50, the lowest figure here. The private options cost more per hour: $14.71 for the seven-hour day with Giza and Dahshur, $16.60 for the five-hour trip, $19.17 for the archaeology tour and $22 for the private Giza, Sakkara and Memphis day.
Ratings run from 4.4 to 4.7. The difference is the evidence behind them: 2,630 reviews for the cheapest tour, 11 for the most expensive.
So, honestly: a Saqqara day trip from Cairo at $60 with Giza and lunch is the best-supported choice if you have one day. If you have done Giza, the $60 Dahshur listing costs the same; confirm its length first. Compare everything else on 65 tours compared, or see other trips out of the city.
