Memphis Ancient City Tour

Discover the ancient capital of Egypt on this Cairo half-day tour to Memphis, once the heart of the Egyptian Empire and now an archaeological treasure trove.

On this tour, you'll delve into Egypt's fascinating past, exploring the open-air museum filled with a rich collection of artifacts, including the impressive remains of the colossal statue of King Ramses II.

Founded by King Narmer, also known as Menes, in 3200 B.C., Memphis served as the capital during the height of the ancient Egyptian Empire, particularly under the 3rd and 6th dynasties. This sacred city was dedicated to the worship of the god Ptah, and its influence spanned centuries.
