Saqqara pyramid
We will Move to Saqqara, a pyramid complex that, like Giza, is part of the necropolis of Memphis. There we will see one of the first pyramids built, which served as a model for all those that were built later. The step pyramid of Zoser has a rectangular base and is about 60 meters high, and was part of a ceremonial complex built around 2650 BC for the Pharaoh Zoser by Imhotep, the most famous Egyptian architect.

Ancient Memphis Egypt
After Saqqara, we will undertake the last part of our excursion. We will head to Memphis, capital of the Old Empire between 3100 and 2040 BC, and the coronation site of all the pharaohs of the Empire.
According to tradition, Memphis was founded by Narmer, considered the first pharaoh. The city is located in the Nile Delta, right between Upper and Lower Egypt, the two regions into which the country was divided. In 1820, a huge statue of one of the most famous pharaohs, Ramses II, who ruled from 1279 to 1213 BC, was found in the Great Temple of Ptah near Memphis. The colossus, carved from pink granite, is more than 11 meters high and weighs more than 80 tons. For a time it was located in the center of Cairo, but erosion seriously damaged it and it was moved to Memphis, where it is exhibited in a covered area, to protect it.
The Bent Pyramid
Dahshur is a relatively isolated place south of Giza. Few tourists visit Dahshur, despite the fact that its two pyramids are rather impressive. The curved pyramid is 90 m high and is the fourth largest in Egypt. It was built by Senefru, the father of Cheops (the builder of the Great Pyramid).
The Red Pyramid
The Red Pyramid, whose constructions represent an elaborate evolution that marks the transition from the stepped pyramid, like that of Djoser in Saqqara, to the pyramid with canonical lines. The red pyramid, 105 m high, The entrance was made of red granite.
After the tour, we will take you back to the hotel.
