Half-day trip to Egyptian Museum and Cairo landmarks from Sharm

We start our day by visiting Saqqara, a beautiful area full of places to see. The Step Pyramid complex of King Djoser, the pyramids of Teti and Unas, and Kagemnenekawase, Ankhmahor, and Neferseshemptah may all be reached from the Saqqara site and Imhotep Museum.  His tomb was opened to Ptahhotep, Tiye, Idut, Unas Ankh, and Inferet in the year 2020 AD.  Use our guide to learn about all of these locations and more.

Then you move to Memphis. The greatness of this city is that it has withstood all those ages, as it contains a group of temples dedicated to the worship of the god Ptah, and the famous Temple of Het-Kaptah, from which the Greek name for Egypt, Aegyptias, was derived, which spread throughout the world in various languages as the name of Egypt.  There is also the Temple of Hathor that was constructed during the reign of Ramses and Merneptah, and King Seti I added to it a New Kingdom shrine.

The city includes a group of palaces, one of which belongs to King Merneptah and the other to King Apries, one of the kings of the 26th Dynasty. The ruins of the city still include that huge statue carved from pink granite, which is a masterpiece of beauty and the art of sculpture in ancient Egypt, in addition to a collection of statues that exist and are named after Ramses II.
