Memphis and Sakkara
Move on to Discover: MitRahina(Memphis) statue of Ramses II. The only remaining evidence of Memphis is this noteworthy open-air museum, built around a magnificent fallen colossal limestone statue of Ramses II. Its position on its back gives a great opportunity to inspect the carving up close – even the pharaoh’s nipples are very precise. Its twin is the statue that stood in Midan Ramses in Cairo until 2006 when it was moved to stand guard by the Grand Egyptian Museum construction site.
Move on to Discover : Dahshur Dahshur is located in the southern part of Memphis which was the capital of ancient Egypt. King Senefru chose his Dahshur plateau to build his first pyramid to rival Djoser's pyramid, but he was unable to complete it and it became the first half-broken pyramid. -Also found in this area (The Red Pyramid and The Bent Pyramid) Back to your Hotel.
