• Sphinx of Memphis - Memphis, romanized as Manf and pronounced [mænf], is known in Bohairic Coptic as Men-nefer. It was the ancient capital of Inebu-hedj, the first nome of Lower Egypt, referred to as mḥw (“North”). The ruins are near the modern village of Mit Rahina in the Badrashin county of Giza, Egypt. The contemporary name likely originates from the late Ancient Egyptian name for Memphis, mjt-rhnt, meaning “Road of the Ram-Headed Sphinxes.”

Memphis, along with the pyramid fields extending over 30 kilometers (19 miles) to the west, including the renowned Pyramids of Giza, is recognized as a World Heritage Site. The area is accessible to the public as an open-air museum.

According to legends recounted by Manetho, a priest and historian from the Ptolemaic Kingdom during the Hellenistic period of ancient Egypt, the city was established by King Menes.

• Saqqara (Sakkara) Pyramids - Saqqara, pronounced in Egyptian Arabic, is also spelled Sakkara or Saccara in English. It is an Egyptian village in the Badrashin county of the Giza Governorate, containing ancient burial grounds for Egyptian royalty, serving as the necropolis for the ancient capital, Memphis. Saqqara is home to numerous pyramids, including the Pyramid of Djoser, also known as the Step Tomb, and several mastaba tombs. Located approximately 30 km (19 mi) south of modern Cairo, Saqqara spans an area of about 7 by 1.5 km (4.3 by 0.9 mi).

Saqqara houses the oldest complete stone building complex known in history, the Pyramid of Djoser, constructed during the Third Dynasty. An additional sixteen Egyptian kings built pyramids at Saqqara.

• Statue of Ramses II - The Statue of Ramesses II is a 3,200-year-old sculpture depicting Ramesses II standing. It was unearthed in 1820 by Giovanni Battista Caviglia at the Great Temple of Ptah near Memphis, Egypt. Made from limestone, it weighs 83 tons. This statue was created to commemorate the victory over the Hittites in the Battle of Kadesh in 1274 B.C.[citation needed]

The statue was discovered in six broken pieces, and earlier restoration attempts were unsuccessful. In 1955, Egyptian Prime Minister Gamal Abdel Nasser relocated it to the large Bab Al-Hadid Square in Cairo, outside the main railway station; the square was subsequently renamed Ramses Square. There, the statue was restored to its full height of 11 meters and placed on a three-meter pedestal at the edge of a fountain, stabilized by iron bars inside the body.

Over time, Ramses Square proved unsuitable, as the statue was exposed to corrosive pollution and constant vibrations from traffic and subways.

• Dahshur - Dahshur, often referred to as Dashur in English, is an ancient Egyptian pyramid complex and necropolis, sharing its name with the nearby village of Manshiyyat Dahshur in Badrashin county, Giza.

Dahshur is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, located on the Western Desert plateau at the edge of the cultivated plain. Along with the pyramid complexes at Saqqara, Abusir, and Giza to its north, it forms the pyramid fields of the ancient capital city of Memphis. It is renowned for several pyramids, particularly Senefru’s Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid, which are among the oldest, largest, and best-preserved in Egypt, constructed from 2613 to 2589 BC.

• Mastaba of Ti - The Mastaba of Ti is a significant archaeological site in Saqqara, discovered by Auguste Mariette.

The mastaba contains two serdabs, and the tomb walls depict various scenes of everyday life.
