You will meet your professional tour guide in the hotel lobby, where we will carefully select everything for you to begin your tour of the Grand Egyptian Museum... The museum tells fascinating and exciting stories through every piece. Among the artifacts housed in the museum is the statue of King Ramses II, which has a rich history. We will explore the history of this statue, which dates back more than 32 centuries.
It depicts Ramses II standing. The statue was discovered in 1820 by explorer Giovanni Battista Caviglia in the Great Temple of Mit Rahina, near Memphis, the ancient Egyptian capital... The statue of Ramses II was originally located in Giza's Mit Rahina neighbourhood.
The statue was found divided into six large, separate parts. Initial attempts to reassemble them failed, but with persistence, he eventually reassembled it. In March 1955, the late Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser ordered its transfer to Bab al-Hadid Square in Cairo, later renamed Ramses Square.
At the end of the trip, you will return to your lodging in Cairo or Giza.
