The Saqqara Area: It is considered an open museum, as it includes among its ranks most of the vestiges of ancient Egyptian history, as it includes the tombs of kings and high officials of the first and second dynasties, as well as the step pyramid, the oldest massive stone structure in history for King Zesar, and features pyramids for the most important kings of the fifth and sixth dynasties, where King Wanis was the first to inscribe his burial hall with pyramidal texts intended to protect the king during his journey to the other world. In addition to the royal tombs of the Old Kingdom, Saqqara contained a vast collection of tombs of high-ranking individuals of the time, decorated with exquisite scenes and inscriptions.
Memphis: the first capital of ancient Egypt, is home to the enormous statue of Ramses II and the Alabaster Sphinx. The god Ptah was Memphis' idol, and its ancient ambience immerses you in the depths of Egyptian history. Its massive mountain range stretched from Abu Rawash in the north to Lasht in the south, and it unquestionably boasts the most amazing examples of Egyptian architecture and art.
The Egyptian Museum is the earliest structure ever constructed as a museum and the oldest archeological museum in the Middle East. After French architect Marcel Dorneo emerged victorious in an international competition to design the museum building in 1895, the khedive Abbas Helmy II officially opened it in 1902. In April 2021, the museum was the center of world attention when it bid farewell to 22 royal mummies to be transferred to its permanent exhibition at the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Fustat in a solemn procession. The museum consists of two floors housing distinguished collections of Egyptian antiquities from the Predynastic period through the Greek and Roman eras, including the painting of King Narmer, which commemorates the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under the rule of a single king, and a collection of statues and artifacts of kings from the time of the construction of the pyramids.
After that, you'll be driven back to the airport so you can catch your trip to Luxor.
