An air-conditioned car will pick you up in the morning to catch your flight, so you can go from Hurghada to Cairo and see its attractions. The Pyramids of Giza are where we start our journey... Consider what the region around the huge and towering Pyramids might have looked like 5,000 years ago. It captures the beauty and brilliance of ancient Egyptian artisans as well as how important attention to creative detail was to the ancient Egyptians.
From the Nile Valley to the vicinity of the Pyramids. On the banks of the Nile, close to the Pyramids, the ancient Egyptians constructed the Valley Temple, which is reached via a path known as the "Procession Road." In the Valley Temple, the Pharaoh's body was mummified and his mummy was prepared following his death... Then it was taken in a great procession to the Mortuary Temple, a temple just close to the pyramid. Following the completion of religious rites, the corpse was carried into the coffin room and put within the coffin. See for yourself the Valley Temple.
After seeing the scary Sphinx and the three pyramids, take a moment to relax, eat lunch, and then proceed to the Step Pyramid, which you will see was constructed in phases. A mastaba was built with a height of about 8.5 meters, then 9 meters on the eastern side, thus adding 11 wells belonging to the Djoser family to the body of the building. The building's height was then increased by 60 meters by adding four mastabas, one over the other, giving it a pyramidal form.
The Saqqara area is full of other areas and monuments such as the Kagemni Tomb, the Imhotep Museum and many others. Enjoy all of this and more with us.
When mentioning the capitals of ancient Egypt throughout ancient Egyptian history, in the north, center, and south of the country, the capital of capitals, Memphis, comes to the forefront, crowning all the capitals. The city of cities witnessed the unification of the two regions of Egypt at the hands of its strong men from Upper Egypt, led by Scorpion II (one of the kings of the Zero Dynasty) and King Narmer (head of the First Dynasty). The location of this capital (circa 3200 BC) was chosen with great care to play a role in the story.
