Guided Tour to Sakkara, Memphis and Egyptian museum

Our tour begins in Egypt's first capital. Your guide will meet you in your hotel lobby and transfer you to Memphis. Enjoy a visit to Memphis. The statue of the King Ramses II and the alabaster Sphinx are among the most significant landmarks that your guide will show you.  Isis-Nefert and Nefertari were Ramses II's two principal wives... Nefertari married ten years before the death of his father, Seti I, who thus saw five sons and two daughters among his grandchildren, with about fifteen births from women of the harem. Ramses II boasted that after a few years he had fathered a hundred children, too many to count. Nefertari remained the great royal wife.

We then move to Saqqara to visit: The Pyramid of Djoser, dedicated to King Djoser, who changed the shape of the royal mastaba to a step pyramid...We will visit the pyramid of Unas and Teti, which was originally about 52 meters high. We will visit the pyramid of Unas and Teti, which originally stood at about 52 meters high.

Teti's reign was unique because he was not the son of a king and had no right to rule. He married King Unas's daughter (Iput) and had Pepi I with her. He also married Khwit, daughter of Chekare Assi, to legitimize his rule. 

Teti chose this small area to be on the same axis as the pyramids that preceded him, thus serving as a subordinate to Ra's religious policy. To complete this period, we will visit Mary Roca, the minister who married Teti's eldest daughter and was awarded 84 titles. We will visit the Egyptian Museum to discover its most important collections and statues such as: the statue of King Khasekhem.
