Half Day tour to Memphis, Dahshour, and Felucca
Everyone stands in awe of the historical monuments in Dahshur and Memphis, and many questions come to mind: How were the pharaohs able to build such massive structures? How have these monuments survived so long? How has their appearance remained unchanged? Temples and tombs tell us the story of the life of the "ancient Egyptian genius."
Check out the most notable historical sites in Memphis and Dahshur if you're thinking about making a short trip to Egypt. If you want to spend a few days there, our website provides packages that cover lodging, transportation, and food. You'll get to see up close many of the royal tombs decorated with unique inscriptions and the first pyramids, which were expertly constructed even before the Pyramids of Giza were built. Be part of this fascinating historical era that witnessed the development of ancient funerary life. Why not pack your bags and get ready for your next trip to Memphis and Dahshur?
First, you'll be transported to the Memphis area. Memphis is a significant site, and the ongoing projects will transform it into a global cultural destination of great significance. The existing and buried antiquities, found throughout the ages, are no less important than the temples in Luxor, from a political, religious, and economic perspective. The Temple of Ptah was one of many temples built under the New Kingdom.
The museum is distinguished by the presence of a huge statue of Ramses, weighing about 100 tons, and its height to the top of about 10 meters, dating back to the 19th dynasty. The Sphinx is distinguished by being made of marble. The number of tourists can be doubled with the development of the area and the provision of various tourist services. There is the temple of the god Ptah, which needs to be rebuilt, or its scattered stones raised to the base.
Next, you'll be transferred to Dahshur, on the western bank of the Nile, 71 kilometers from the Giza Plateau. Archaeologists recently discovered a pyramid dating back to the Thirteenth Dynasty, and from these discoveries, a new discovery of private tombs was announced. This is a promising area, and excavation work must be intensified to uncover the tombs of private individuals and nobles, and to uncover the secrets of Dahshur. Egyptian missions are working alongside foreign missions, like the German and Capital missions, to do excavations in the region. The discovery of eight coffins in ancient tombs in the Dahshur archaeological region of Giza was revealed by the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities.
During your tour, you will discover the points where Dahshur also excelled in the competition for the most beautiful villages in the world. A number of local community members still maintain their ancient customs and lead traditional lives. Most of its population, which numbers approximately 40,000, works in agriculture, making a visit a unique experience of experiencing rural life. It is also an opportunity to learn about the ancient history of the region, in addition to the three pyramids and antiquities. When you visit Dahshur village, you will also find Dahshur Lake, a shallow seasonal natural depression where papyrus plants grow. Migratory birds also come to it in early spring and late autumn, and it is one of the only remaining ecosystems in central Egypt.
Before the end of our tour, enjoy the beauty of the Nile and the sun reflecting its rays on it by riding a felucca and listening to Egyptian folk songs. You will thereafter be taken to your hotel.

Memphis served as the capital of ancient Egypt for over 3,000 years during the Old Kingdom period. It was founded around 3100 BCE by King Menes and remained a significant political and cultural center throughout ancient Egyptian history. As the capital, Memphis was the seat of pharaohs and the administrative hub of the kingdom, making it a focal point of power and influence.
During the tour, you will visit the ancient city of Memphis, which was the capital of ancient Egypt, and explore its archaeological sites, including the colossal statue of Ramses II. You will then proceed to the Dahshur necropolis, where you can marvel at the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid. Finally, you will enjoy a relaxing Felucca boat ride on the Nile River, taking in the beautiful views and the serene atmosphere.
Given that Dahshur is the location of some of Egypt's oldest and best-preserved pyramids, the city has a special place in Egyptian history. Around 2600–2500 BCE, during the Old Kingdom era of ancient Egypt, the pyramids of Dahshur were constructed. They shed light on the development of pyramid architecture by representing experimental and advanced architectural design in pyramid building.
You can wear whatever you like, but consider the time of day you are sightseeing, as you should cover up with light clothing when sightseeing during the daytime because it gets very hot and sunny. Also, you should wear flat-soled sneakers as high heels are not recommended.
For over 3000 years, Memphis was a very important city in ancient Egypt. People there worshiped a god named Ptah and it was where the Pharaohs became kings.
The building is made of strong rock pieces stacked on top of each other and covered with a smooth layer of the same rock. Inside, you can reach the place where the person is buried by walking down a hallway with an entrance in the middle of one side of the building.
