The pyramids of Egypt are the single most iconic reason travellers visit the country — and no trip to Egypt feels complete without standing before them. But Giza is only part of the story. A well-planned pyramid package can take you well beyond the postcard image, into a deeper journey through 4,500 years of pyramid-building history.
Why Visit More Than Just Giza?
While the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure at Giza are rightly the highlight of any trip, Egypt is home to over 100 pyramids. Just south of Giza, Saqqara holds the Step Pyramid of Djoser — the world’s oldest monumental stone structure, built roughly a century before Giza. Nearby, Dahshur offers the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid, the world’s first true smooth-sided pyramid, with a fraction of the crowds. Together, these three sites tell the full story of how pyramid-building evolved — something a single Giza visit alone can’t capture.
What’s Included in a Pyramid Travel Package
Most of our pyramid-focused packages combine:

Visits to the Grand Egyptian Museum, home to the complete Tutankhamun collection
Saqqara and/or Dahshur for a deeper look at pyramid history
Options to extend into a Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan, for those who want to pair pyramid history with the temples further south
