Memphis City the oldest Capital of Egypt

Memphis was once the administrative and religious center of Egypt. Almost nothing remains from ancient Memphis except some monuments from the new kingdom and late period. An open-air museum with an enormous statue of limestone for king Ramesses II which is almost 10 meters long without feet. Moreover, you will see the biggest movable alabaster sphinx statue which weighs more than 80 tons. There also some granite sarcophagus and remains of big granite statue for king Ramesses II.

Saqqara Pyramid – Sakkara Pyramid

Saqqara will be your second stop, the ancient cemetery of Memphis with its step pyramid of Zoser which is considered the first stone structure in the world. It dates back to 2770 B.C.

There you will visit the step pyramid of king Zoser in southern Saqqara and its complex. Then you will visit the pyramid of the kind Titi and the tomb of Mereroka which has perfect scenes for daily life (Extra charge). After that, you will take your lunch in a local restaurant in the Memphis area.

Dahshour Pyramids

Dahshur will be your next stop. Dahshur is one of the royal necropolises located in the desert on the west bank of the Nile approximately 40 kilometers south of Cairo. King Snefru (2680-2656 B.C), the founder of the IV Dynasty, was the first to choose the area to build his royal tomb, as it was close to the capital, Memphis.

Bent Pyramid

He built two pyramids, the first is known like the Dahshur pyramid or bent pyramid (your guide will explain to you why?) which is 101 meters in height and it has two entrances one to the north as normal and the second to its western side.

Red Pyramid

The second pyramid is known as the Red Pyramid (your guide also will explain to you the reason behind the name). It is the first true pyramid successfully completed. Here there is a certain peace and tranquility to the site still. It is most noteworthy for being the site that best demonstrates the change from the “step” pyramid to the “true” pyramid that occurred during the Third and Fourth Dynasties. Dahshur has only recently been opened to the public, having been a military zone until 1996. Later on, your guide will take you back to your hotel for dinner and free time at leisure.

Tomb of Mereroka and the pyramid of the kind Titi are an extra charge.

• Non-Catholics can enter the Vatican and non-Christians are welcomed at churches around the world. While not all the holy mosques of Egypt are off-limits to non-Muslims. All the historical mosques are open for the visit of Muslims/non-Muslims alike like Mohamed Ali Mosque within the Citadel, Amr Ibn El Ass mosque, Ibn Tulun mosque, El Refae mosque, Madrassa of Sultan Hassan and Al Azhar mosque. However, there are protocols which must be followed. Always remember a mosque is a place of prayer and worship for Muslims. It is not a museum.

The answer is between yes and no. in most of the sightseeing it is allowed to take photos and make your trip memorable but there are other places in which you can not take even your camera with you for example Egyptian Museum, Valley of the kings, inside any of the Pyramid, inside the tombs in Sakkara, tombs of noblemen in Luxor, valley of the queens in Luxor.
