Itinerary
Begin your Budget Cairo Tour to Memphis and Dahshur by meeting your private tour guide at your hotel or a designated location in Cairo or Giza. Your journey will take you to the ancient city of Memphis, the first capital of Egypt, established after King Menes unified Upper and Lower Egypt. Memphis was the first organised city in history and marked the beginning of Egypt's ancient civilisation.
The unification of Egypt is depicted on the famous Narmer Palette, housed in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, showcasing the king’s control over the northern and southern lands and the start of Egypt's recorded history, which was divided into 30 dynasties. The first dynasty laid the groundwork for Egypt’s civilisation, including advancements in writing and sciences such as astronomy.
Explore the open-air museum in Memphis, where you can admire the Alabaster Sphinx and other significant artifacts, continually enhanced by ongoing discoveries by the Ministry of Archaeology. You’ll also see the colossal statue of King Ramses II, a prominent ruler from the 19th Dynasty and the builder of the Abu Simbel Temples in Aswan.
Next, head to Dahshur to view two remarkable pyramids built by King Snefru. The Red Pyramid is notable for being the first pyramid with smooth sides, slightly smaller than the Pyramid of Chephren in Giza, and ranks as the third largest pyramid. The Bent Pyramid, distinguished by its unique shape and almost intact outer casing, earned its name from its bent appearance near the peak.
After your tour of Memphis and Dahshur, you will be transferred back to your hotel.
