Activity itinerary

Saqqara

  • 2h
Saqqara Necropolis is the vast ancient cemetery of Memphis, the first capital of ancient Egypt. It was used as a royal and elite burial ground for over 3,000 years. The site is best known for the Step Pyramid of Djoser, designed by Imhotep, which is considered the world's oldest large stone monument. Saqqara contains numerous pyramids, tombs, and temples decorated with colourful scenes of daily life, making it one of the richest archaeological sites for understanding ancient Egyptian history, religion, and architecture.

Dahshur

  • 1h
Dahshur is a royal necropolis located south of Saqqara and is famous for its well-preserved pyramids. It contains the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid, both built by Pharaoh Sneferu during the 4th Dynasty. The Bent Pyramid is unique because its angle changes halfway up, while the Red Pyramid is considered the first successful true smooth-sided pyramid. Dahshur played a crucial role in the development of pyramid construction and helped pave the way for the famous pyramids of Giza.

Mit Rahina Museum

  • 1h
Memphis Open-Air Museum is located on the site of ancient Memphis, the first capital of Egypt. The museum displays important monuments discovered in the area, including the colossal statue of Ramesses II and the famous Alabaster Sphinx. The museum offers visitors a glimpse into the grandeur of ancient Memphis and its role as Egypt's political and religious centre for many centuries. It is a key stop for anyone interested in ancient Egyptian history and archaeology.
