Our tour guide will accompany you to visit:
Saqqara necropolis, there you visit the Pyramid of Djoser the earliest stone building in Egypt built in the 27th century BC during the III Dynasty for the burial of Pharaoh. The pyramid structure rises above the plateau in a series of six stepped ‘mastabas" and was built in several stages, beginning with an initial square mastaba and that its plan was changed several times during the construction and finally was surrounded by a complex of dummy buildings enclosed within a niche limestone wall over 10 m high, all this was designed by the genius architect Imhotep. The burial chamber has been closed for restoration for decades but recently was opened.
Memphis, the capital of Ancient Egypt founded by king Menes or Narmer during the old kingdom, and lasted for more than eight dynasties as a center of art and architecture, once again during the new kingdom became the military capital of the Egyptian empire. The city reached a peak of prestige under the sixth dynasty as a center for the worship of Ptah, the god of creation and artworks, His consort Sekhmet, and their son Nefertem. The alabaster sphinx that guards the temple of Ptah serves as a memorial of the city's former power and prestige, also the recumbent statue of Ramses II is the most beautiful carved statue in all Egypt.
After the visit you go back to the hotel.
