Saqqara tours from Cairo
Saqqara is about 30 km south of central Cairo, an hour by car in normal traffic, with no practical public transport, so a tour or hired driver is the usual way. Most tours combine the Step Pyramid of Djoser with the open-air museum at Memphis and the pyramids of Dahshur, sometimes adding Giza; private versions include lunch and an Egyptologist. Some tombs cost extra beyond the EGP 600 ticket. From May to September, start at opening and leave by noon.

Questions about tours to Saqqara from Cairo
Can I book a private tour instead of a group one?
Yes: of the 18 tours from Cairo, 5 are private. A private trip costs more but sets its own pace and pickup time.
Are entry tickets included in the price?
Not always. No tour here puts a ticket or entry fee in its title, so read the "Includes" section of the listing: site entry is often charged separately.
