Memphis and Sakkara tour

In Sakkara, You get to see the famous S tep pyramid of Djoser . It is different from the Pyramids of Giza  because it looks more like steps. The pyramid of Unas and the pyramid of Userkaf lie on either side of the Djoser. History has it that sixteen other kings built pyramids in Sakkara. 

Memphis is the ancient capital of Egypt . Currently, many cities and towns now occupy the old City. The remains of the ancient temples were converted to the open-air museum. Some sites in the museum to be seen include the great temple of Ptah, the Colossus of Ramesses II, and some other smaller temples. The Colossus of Ramesses II is made of limestone.

      By Ashraf Fares March 4, 2026
      Two days in Luxor allow you to see the famous sites without rushing, and to reach the places that don't appear in most itineraries. Day one covers the Valley of the Kings and Karnak — the monuments almost everyone knows. Day two goes further: Abydos, where Egyptian religion began, and Deir el-Medina, the village of the workers who built the Valley of the Kings. Most visitors to Luxor spend one day and leave having seen the surface. Two days show you why this city was the religious capital of an empire for 500 years.
