- Memphis and Sakkara - pick up any time you want from your hotel in Giza or Cairo
GIZA, MEMPHIS, & SAQQARA:
Saqqara is also a necropolis which houses the first and the oldest pyramid in Egypt. I think I would really remember the beauty of the desert of Saqqara for a long time. It was almost sunset; we were standing on a small hill and looking at other pyramids in far distance. The sight of sand with pyramids in the backdrop during that moment will stay with me as long as I live…this was a memorable day overall.

Memphis is more like “an open air museum. This was the first capital of unified Egypt during the Old Kingdom around 3300 BC and another UNESCO World Heritage Site along with the pyramid complex in Giza.

Pyramids of Giza - stop for lunch koshry then
Giza is THE site where most of the tourists (if not all) come to while visiting Cairo. This is the iconic image of Egypt and one of the most famous symbols of all ancient wonders. The pyramids and the sphinx in Giza, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, give a real glimpse to the early Egyptian civilization, their life-style, beliefs, and talents. Looking at something that old (from 2500 BC) literally gave me goose-bumps.
