Full Day at the Pyramids, Memphis, and Sakkara RHPT001
Starting at 6:00 am
It is impossible to get tired of the pyramids. You will visit one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The three pyramids are:
- The Pyramid of Khufu (Great Pyramid) built by King Cheops in c. 2650 BC
- The Pyramid of Khafre built by King Chephren south west of his father Cheops
- The Pyramid of Menkaure built by King Mycerinus (Menkaure) son of Chephren
The Sphinx: "Sacred symbol of the union of the strongest physical with the highest intellectual power on earth."– Harriet Martineau.
The Solar Boat of King Cheops: A cedar-wood craft built to take the pharaoh on his journey to the afterworld.
Visit another attractive sight in Giza: Memphis and Sakkara.
You will see the step pyramid in Sakkara, which was a royal burial-ground during the Old Kingdom (2705–2155 BC). There are so many periods that show that Sakkara could almost be a book, in whose pages the story of Egyptian civilization through the Pharaonic, Greek, and Roman periods is told. Discoveries are still being made today.
The Step Pyramid: The first proper pyramid. It was built for King Zoser in the 27thcentury BC by the architect Imhotep.
The Pyramid of Unas: Noted for its funerary chamber covered with mortuary literature called the Pyramid Texts.
The Serapeum: Famous for the tombs of the sacred bull Apis.
King Menes built Memphis, the oldest capital of Egypt, and you will also see the colossal statue of Ramses II, the most beautiful representation of him, exhibited in the museum and the temple for embalming the sacred bull Apis and the Alabaster Sphinx.
