Memphis Museum Egypt  

Memphis is the old capital city of Egypt . The city of Memphis is today the place where about five cities and towns of the south of Cairo lie. It is the home of a lot of artifacts that are worth seeing. The remains of the ancient city were converted to an open-air museum, and the great temple of Ptah is one of the sites of the open-air museum. The temple was for the worship of the creator god Ptah. It was the most significant temple in Memphis. Our Egyptologist will give you step by step history of the various Pharaohs that built personal temples for Ptah. The account will accompany the sights of the remains of these temples. There is the Temple of Ptah of Rameses II, Temple of Ptah and Sekhmet of Rameses II, mad the Temple of Ptah of Merneptah.

The Colossus of Ramesses II in the open-air museum is also worth seeing. Ramesses the Great was a pharaoh of Egypt in the nineteenth dynasty. He is regarded as the greatest pharaoh in Egypt in the New Kingdom. The Colossus is made of Limestone and is around 10 meters in length. Exceptional beauty is beholding the pharaoh in the white crown of Upper Egypt. 

The city of Memphis also contains the temple of Hathor. The temple was traced back to the reign of Ramesses II. The remains of the temple were discovered and unearthed in 1970.

Best of Cairo with the best guide!

"Wow. Just wow! Mimo was an amazing guide who brought us around Cairo to see the essentials all in one day. Our driver Amr was an expert in negotiating the traffic and busy streets of the city. The tour was well-paced and did all the outside stuff early before it got too busy and hot. I’ve been to Egypt before, and I wish I had Mimo the first time. I can not recommend this tour enough!"

Mimo & Adel - Dynamic Duo!

"We had an incredible experience in Cairo with Mimo as our guide and Adel as our driver. I was especially excited when I found out Mimo would be our guide because of the glowing reviews on this app—and they were absolutely spot on. Adel was consistently punctual, reliable, and a very safe driver, which made the day smooth and stress-free. Mimo is deeply knowledgeable and tailored the tour to fit our needs perfectly. Thanks to his planning, we were able to visit the pyramids in a unique and thoughtful way—skipping the main gates entirely, which allowed us to avoid the heavy crowds. We had time to explore in peace, hold quiet conversations, and even enter one of the satellite tombs, which felt incredibly special. The camel ride was a bit more challenging than we expected, but Mimo managed everything seamlessly and turned it into a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We also visited a perfumery and papyrus shop—stops I was initially unsure about—but I ended up purchasing items that I truly love and will treasure for years. Before lunch, we had the option to visit a cotton, spice, or souvenir shop. We chose a cartouche store, which was a quick stop. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re specifically looking for something handmade. Lunch was served at a clean, modern restaurant—definitely try the mango juice! Afterwards, we opted to skip the market and spend more time at the Egyptian Museum. Mimo guided us through key exhibits and then gave us time to explore and take photos at our own pace. One thoughtful moment that really stood out: we mentioned a papyrus print we had passed on due to price, and Mimo offered to call the shop owner to negotiate on our behalf. Not only did he get us a better deal, but he coordinated a quick pickup on our way back to the hotel. We had changed hotels, so our drop-off was different than our pickup, but Mimo made sure we were at the correct location and even confirmed with the building staff before leaving us. We only had one full day in Cairo, and this tour exceeded every expectation. From start to finish, we felt cared for in every detail. Mimo even arranged a custom visit to Saqqara on our departure day that worked around our airport schedule and included helpful tips for navigating each stop. Truly a 10/10 experience—thoughtful, well-paced, and unforgettable."

Egypt sees a steady outflow of skilled professionals and students seeking opportunities abroad, while at the same time, it remains a destination for refugees, expatriates, and investors. In some cases, cultural and social factors also play a role, such as the increasing interest in international matchmaking services, where individuals from different countries seek life partners — like the growing trend of Russian ladies for marriage in the USA , driven by cultural curiosity and lifestyle preferences. These movements are shaped by economic conditions, government policies, and regional developments. Understanding the motivations behind migration in and out of Egypt reveals broader trends affecting employment, education, and investment in the country.
