Your day begins with an exploration of the Egyptian Museum, the oldest archaeological museum in the Middle East and home to the largest collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities in the world. The museum displays a vast collection spanning from the pre-dynastic period to the Greek and Roman eras. Among the museum's unparalleled holdings are the funerary collection of Yuya, Tuya, and Psusennes I, the treasures of Tanis, and the Narmer Stela, which commemorates the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under one king and is among the museum's priceless artifacts. The museum also houses magnificent statues of the great kings Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, the builders of the pyramids on the Giza plateau. In addition to a large collection of papyri, sarcophagi, and jewelry, this complements a unique collection of the museum.
Together we will explore Saqqara, a very important part of the necropolis of Menf, about 40 kilometers from Cairo. Saqqara often takes its name from Saqqara, the idol of the necropolis. Saqqara contains most of the monuments of ancient Egyptian history, including the tombs of the kings and high officials of the First and Second Dynasties (ca. 3040-2686 BC), the Step Pyramid, the oldest monumental stone structure in history of King Caesar (ca. 2686-2667 BC), and the Step Pyramid, the oldest monumental stone structure in history of King Caesar (ca. 2686-2667 BC). There are pyramids of the most important kings of the Fifth (ca. 2494-2345 BC) and Sixth (ca. 2345-2181 BC) Dynasties, with the pyramid of King Wanis (ca. 2375-2345 BC) being the first pyramid on which his burial chamber was inscribed with pyramidal texts intended to protect the king during his journey to the other world.
We will conclude our journey with Memphis The name “Memphis” (Μέμφις) is a Greek corruption of the name of the pyramid of Pepe II of Nefer, the Coptic word that still means Mina. Narmer founded the First Dynasty and created a powerful army to protect the country, making Memphis the capital of Egypt. Memphis is considered one of the greatest capitals of ancient Egypt. It was associated with the unification of the Nile Delta and Upper Egypt during the reign of King Mina and remained the capital of Egypt during the Old Kingdom and the administrative and military capital during the New Kingdom.
After finishing your tour in Cairo our representative will transfer you to Cairo International Airport to catch your flight to Sharm El Sheikh.
