- Memphis Tours - Memphis, romanized as Manf and pronounced [mænf]; Bohairic Coptic: ⲙⲉⲙϥⲓ; Greek: Μέμφις), or Men-nefer, served as the ancient capital of Inebu-hedj, the first nome of Lower Egypt, known as mḥw (“North”). Its remnants are situated near the modern village of Mit Rahina, in the Badrashin district of Giza, Egypt. This contemporary name likely originates from the late Ancient Egyptian name for Memphis, mjt-rhnt, meaning “Road of the Ram-Headed Sphinxes”.
Alongside the pyramid fields extending over a desert plateau for more than 30 kilometers (19 miles) to its west, including the renowned Pyramids of Giza, Memphis and its necropolis have been designated as a World Heritage Site. The site is accessible to the public as an open-air museum.
- Ramses II Red Granite Statue - The Statue of Ramesses II is a 3,200-year-old sculpture of Ramesses II, depicting him in a standing position. It was unearthed in 1820 by Giovanni Battista Caviglia at the Great Temple of Ptah near Memphis, Egypt. Crafted from limestone, it weighs 83 tons. This statue was constructed to commemorate the victory over the Hittites in the Battle of Kadesh in 1274 B.C.[citation needed]
The statue was discovered in six broken pieces, and earlier restoration attempts were unsuccessful. In 1955, Egyptian Prime Minister Gamal Abdel Nasser relocated it to the expansive Bab Al-Hadid Square in Cairo, outside the main railway station; the square was subsequently renamed Ramses Square. There, the statue was restored to its full height of 11 meters and placed on a three-meter pedestal at the edge of a fountain, stabilized by iron bars within the body.
Over time, Ramses Square proved to be an unsuitable location, as the statue was subjected to corrosive pollution and constant vibrations from traffic and subways.
- Saqqara (Sakkara) Pyramids - Saqqara, pronounced in Egyptian Arabic, also spelled Sakkara or Saccara in English /səˈkɑːrə/, is an Egyptian village in the Badrashin district of the Giza Governorate. It contains ancient burial grounds of Egyptian royalty, serving as the necropolis for the ancient Egyptian capital, Memphis. Saqqara is home to numerous pyramids, including the Pyramid of Djoser, sometimes called the Step Tomb, and several mastaba tombs. Located approximately 30 km (19 miles) south of modern-day Cairo, Saqqara spans an area of about 7 by 1.5 km (4.3 by 0.9 miles).
Saqqara houses the oldest complete stone building complex known in history, the Pyramid of Djoser, constructed during the Third Dynasty. An additional sixteen Egyptian kings built pyramids at Saqqara, which are now in various states of preservation.
- Pyramids of Dahshour - Dahshur, transliterated (often referred to in English as Dashur; Dahšūr pronounced, Coptic: Dahchur) is an ancient Egyptian pyramid complex and necropolis, sharing its name with the nearby village of Manshiyyat Dahshur in the Badrashin district of Giza.
Dahshur is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is situated on the Western Desert plateau at the edge of the cultivated plain. Along with the pyramid complexes at Saqqara, Abusir, and Giza to its north, it forms the pyramid fields of the ancient capital city of Memphis. It is primarily known for several pyramids, notably Senefru’s Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid, which are among the oldest, largest, and best-preserved in Egypt, constructed from 2613 to 2589 BC.
According to legends recounted in the early third century BC by Manetho, a priest and historian from the Ptolemaic Kingdom during the Hellenistic period of ancient Egypt, the city was founded by King Menes. It served as the capital of ancient Egypt (Kemet or Kumat).
