Day 01 Giza Pyramids, Saqqara and Memphis

Happy Egypt driver will pick you up from Sokhna Port in the early morning.

When arrival in Cairo, you'll be greeted by your guide, who will accompany you throughout your tour.
The Giza pyramids:
The Giza plateau is in the vast desert, the land of the dead. Guarded by the Great  Pyramids and Sphinx, the plateau is dominated by the massive pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. To the south of the Great Sphinx, lies the cemetery and Town of the pyramids Builders.

The pyramids are indeed remarkable feats of engineering. But the question is ..

Why were the pyramids constructed?

The pyramids were constructed in the 4th dynasty, but Giza remained important through the New Kingdom and the 3rd Intermediate Period.

There are so many theories about the techniques of the construction of the pyramids.

Notes: Tickets for entry inside the pyramids aren’t included.

Saqqara:
Saqqara lies on the west bank of the Nile. It is a very vast burial ground was served as the cemetery of Memphis, the first capital of Egypt. It includes the famous step pyramid of Djoser and some other mastabas.
The step pyramid was the very first stone monument in history.
Boulevard said that during the 5th and 6th Dynasties, kings Userkaf, Unas, Pepi I, and Pepi II built pyramids of various sizes at Saqqara.
Some of the private tombs of the Old Kingdom lay there as well. The best-known tombs are those of Ti, Kagemni, Ptah Hotep, and Meruruka. Know more about this through the Cairo attractions.

Memphis:
Memphis was the 1st capital of ancient Egypt. The city was founded by King Menes of the 1st dynasty. It occupied a strategic position at the mouth of the Nile Delta.
The famous god Ptah was highly worshipped in Memphis. From the name of Ptah’s temple there ( hit- ka- Ptah ), the Greek name of Egypt ( Aigyptos ) ( Ai- gy- ptos ) was derived.
In Memphis, the first united government of Egypt was established in 2925 BC, under the authority of King Menes, the 1st king of Upper and Lower Egypt.
Memphis is the Greek name of the Egyptian name (min–nfr), which is today called Mit Rahina.

We took a ride in the village of Slavia, but I couldn't find an option to review this activity
Because it is temporary so I found this company on the Internet, customer service staff is good, but the only US is not enough is that he can only brush cards online can not pay cash, hope to have the option of paying cash

We had a great afternoon
Leading our guide Ahmed people are good, we because of the previous trip delayed time, let him wait for us a while on the boat, up to the boat to discover the entire boat only us, he also gave us water and drinks, we saw the sunset on the boat to take pictures very carefully, the road Ahmed like we told the surrounding view, some understand some not understand, but this is the charm of travel
Finally arrived at the place where Ahmed was very good to support us in the upper edge, the youth who carried the rope was also reassured to give us, but there was no stubborn edge in the back of the supervision, on the road we would run for a while and walk very self-sufficient, in his body we were afraid and excited, and finally walked into the village of slavery, we went to eat slavery bread with black sugar and adult food, that servant and our soy milk taste super like soy milk, also drank black tea, because Arab coffee is interested so we also tried, the taste is very special. Finally we went to the school in Slavia for a class, really a classroom, we quickly learned some Arabic and Slavic, really too hard, but very happy, if not to rush back and gather, really want to slow down the whole village
