The Giza Pyramids:
The Giza Plateau lies in the vast desert, known as the land of the dead, and is guarded by the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx. This famous site is home to the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. To the south of the Great Sphinx lies the cemetery and town of the pyramid builders.
The pyramids are considered one of the most incredible engineering feats in history. They were constructed during the 4th Dynasty, but Giza remained significant throughout the New Kingdom and Third Intermediate Period. Numerous theories still exist about how the pyramids were built.
Note: Entry inside the pyramids requires a separate ticket.
Saqqara:
Located on the west bank of the Nile, Saqqara served as the cemetery of Memphis, Egypt’s first capital. It includes the famous Step Pyramid of Djoser, the oldest stone structure in history, built during the 3rd Dynasty. The necropolis also contains pyramids of kings from the 5th and 6th dynasties, like Userkaf, Unas, Pepi I, and Pepi II.
The site also features well-preserved private tombs of the Old Kingdom, such as those of Ti, Kagemni, Ptahhotep, and Meruruka — offering deep insight into Cairo attractions.
Memphis:
Memphis was the first capital of ancient Egypt, founded by King Menes of the First Dynasty. Strategically positioned at the entrance of the Nile Delta, Memphis was the center of religious and political life in early Egypt. It was the cult center of the god Ptah, and the city's temple, "Hut-ka-Ptah," is believed to be the origin of the Greek word for Egypt, Aigyptos.
Today, you can visit the Open-Air Museum of Memphis in Mit Rahina, which houses many artifacts, including the massive Colossus of Ramses II.
