Dahshur Pyramids and Memphis Half-Day Tour

King Snefru built both pyramids at Dahshur: the Bent Pyramid, whose angle changes halfway up, and the Red Pyramid, the first true smooth-sided pyramid, which you can usually go inside. The site gets a fraction of Giza's crowds. On the way back you stop at Memphis, Egypt's first capital, for the fallen colossus of Ramses II and the Alabaster Sphinx.

Saqqara Half-Day Tour: Serapeum, Maya and Horemheb Tombs

Three of Saqqara's less-visited monuments in one half day. The tomb of Maya, Tutankhamun's wet nurse, shows her holding the young king on her lap. Horemheb built his tomb here while he was still an army general, years before he became pharaoh. Below ground, the corridors of the Serapeum hold the granite coffins of the sacred Apis bulls, some weighing around 70 tons.

Tombs of the Pyramid Builders and Sphinx Tunnel Gates Tour

Most visitors to Giza never see this part of the plateau. Start at the cemetery of the pyramid builders, found in 1990, whose tombs show they were paid workers rather than slaves. Then visit the tunnel gates in the Sphinx area before lunch and drinks on a rooftop overlooking the pyramids. The tour also runs without lunch, at a lower price.
