Incredible 6-Day Trip of Cairo and Alexandria

On the morning of your second day, after a delicious breakfast at your hotel, one of our expert guides will be waiting for you to take you on an unforgettable tour to Mina or Memphis, which is not a pyramid but was the first capital of ancient Egypt in the early dynastic era around 3100 BC, and is older than the pyramids themselves. It was founded by King Mina (Narmer) after he united the northern and southern parts of Egypt and made it the centre of government, politics, and religion for long periods.

Today, Memphis is located in the Mit Rahina area of Giza and includes some amazing archaeological remains, the most famous of which are the following:

A huge statue of King Ramses II made of limestone, which surprises you with the accuracy of the sculpture and details.

The Alabaster Sphinx, which is one of the most magnificent statues that embody strength and beauty.

the remnants of historic temples and storage facilities devoted to the veneration of Ptah, the ancient Egyptian deity of arts and crafts.

Memphis today is an open museum that tells the story of the birth of Egyptian civilisation and gives you a glimpse of the greatness of architecture and art in that early era.
