    Memphis and Sakkara

    Journey to Memphis, Egypt's first capital and Old Kingdom heart. Once a bustling metropolis, now an open-air museum. Gaze at the colossal reclining statue of Ramses II—over 10 meters long, carved from alabaster, lying in eternal slumber. Wander among crumbling columns and an avenue lined with alabaster sphinxes. Continue to Sakkara, the vast necropolis serving Memphis for 3,000 years. This burial ground holds over 10 pyramids and 1,000 mastaba tombs. The crown jewel is the Step Pyramid of Djoser, designed by Imhotep around 2650 BCE—the world's oldest large-scale stone structure and blueprint for all later pyramids. Climb its six tiers and stand where architecture first reached for the heavens. Explore the mortuary temple and mysterious South Tomb in quiet desert where archaeologists still uncover secrets. Experience history without crowds where civilization began.
