Pyramids Of Giza And The Great Sphinx/ Saqqara/ Memphis City |
Your tour manager from Egypt Travel Tours will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo, starting your Pyramids Tour visiting the Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren and Mykerinus. Then proceed to visit the Great Sphinx, the head of a pharaoh with a lion's body, dates from the time of Chephren. The tour also includes a visit to the Valley Temple which belongs to the Pyramids of Chephren. This temple served definitely two functions: First, it was used for the purification of the mummy of the king before its burial. Second, it was used for making the Mummification process of the king.
Then procced to visit Saqqara complex, Located 40 km southwest of Cairo, Saqqara is one of the most important cemeteries of Memphis, which was itself one of the most important cities in ancient Egyptian history. The name of the site most likely derives from the god of this necropolis, Sokar. Saqqara is truly an open-air museum, one that has all of ancient Egyptian history on display. Kings and noblemen from the very first two dynasties (c.3040–2686 BC) were buried here, and this is also the location of the Step Pyramid of Djoser (c.2686–2667 BC).
Then you will visit According to a commonly accepted tradition, Memphis was founded about 2925 BCE by Menes, who supposedly united the two prehistoric kingdoms of Upper and Lower Egypt. The original name of the city was the White Walls, and the term may have referred originally to the king’s palace, which would have been built of whitewashed brick. The modern name of Memphis is a Greek version of the Egyptian Men-nefer, the name of the nearby pyramid of the 6th-dynasty (c. 2325–c. 2150 BCE) king Pepi I. Another geographic term for Memphis, Hut-ka-Ptah (“mansion of the KA of Ptah”), rendered Aigyptos in Greek, was later applied to the country as a whole.
I had the best travel experience with Abdul, Amir and the rest of the team from a warm welcome at the airport, picking me up to my hotel and giving me such enough information about historical significance that could add up to something that would definitely make you knowledgeable enough during ancient times era. The hotel room they gave me was non obstructive view so overall you can see the pyramid view from your room. I would definitely recommend Abdul -The EGYPT TRAVEL TOURS-.
