Our tour usually starts at 9 am. Your driver will be waiting to transport you and your guide to Memphis. Memphis was the seat of power during the Old Kingdom (2686–2181 BC) of ancient Egypt; the pharaohs who built the pyramids had settled there... Most of the pyramids discovered near Cairo—over 100 in total—were built during this period, when Memphis was the most powerful city in Egypt, and probably the world.
According to Manetho, the sources refer to the "White Wall" (Ineb Hedj) founded by Menes, the first legendary king to successfully unite the Two Lands. Referred to in some texts as the "Fortress of the White Wall," likely, the king settled there to better control this new union of the two rival kingdoms of predynastic times.
Then we will move on to The Bent Pyramid: The Failed Pyramid of Snefru. This double-sided pyramid is not open to visitors, but a stroll around the building is enough to marvel at it...Then, you will visit The Red Pyramid: Egypt's first pyramid with smooth sides. Rejoice, this time you can access the interior of the monument.
After visiting the archaeological sites, enjoy a felucca trip where our representative will be with you. You will ride the felucca with him and he will play Egyptian folk music for you to dance and enjoy your trip on the Nile.
If you prefer, opt for a night cruise and discover Cairo illuminated, vibrant, and fascinating. This felucca excursion on the Nile offers you a magical interlude between past and modernity in a unique setting. An experience you will never forget.
