- Saqqarah - Your guide will collect you from your hotel or the airport in a private minivan to visit Sakkara, situated just 27 km southwest of Cairo. You will explore the Step Pyramid, built for King Zoser, which is a significant milestone in the evolution of pyramid construction, transitioning from the simple mastaba to its well-known form. The Sakkara pyramid is a vast necropolis, serving as the final resting place for kings, noblemen, common Egyptians, and mummified animals. Throughout the entire pharaonic era, especially during the Old Kingdom and the Late Period, Sakkara’s desert sands were alive with tomb construction, funerary processions, and cult ceremonies for the deceased.
- Memphis and Sakkara - Next, visit Memphis City, the ancient capital of Egypt, home to the colossal statue of Ramses II and the magnificent Alabaster Sphinx. This city dates back to 3100 B.C. Memphis was originally known as the “White Wall,” likely referring to the king’s palace, constructed with whitewashed bricks, until the 26th century BC. The name Memphis is a Greek translation of the Egyptian Men-nefer, which refers to a nearby pyramid built during the 6th Dynasty.
- Egypt - Enjoy a felucca ride on the River Nile. Step aboard the traditional wooden boat and relax in one of the comfortable seats, with your guide accompanying you. Sit back and take in the panoramic views of Cairo’s bridges, riverbanks, and towers, while your guide highlights landmarks and shares fascinating stories about the Egyptian capital’s rich history. Relish a traditional lunch on the felucca, savor the gentle breezes and warm sunshine as you sail, and enjoy the serene peace of being on the water. Capture photos of the sights and passing river vessels. Afterwards, you will return to your hotel or the airport.
- Mit Rahina Museum - Visit the special museum dedicated to the renowned statue of King Ramesses the Great from 1279 BC. This impressive limestone statue is in remarkable condition. Ramesses the Great ruled the Egyptian empire for approximately 67 years.
- The Sphinx of Memphis - The Sphinx of Memphis is a stone sphinx located near the remnants of Memphis, Egypt. Crafted from Egyptian Alabaster, it remains in excellent condition and may represent the famous Queen Hatshepsut from 1479 BC. You will then begin your journey back to your hotel.
