Saqqara-Memphis-Dahshur-Day-Tour: A Journey Through Time: From the First Capital to the First Pyramid
The pick-up will be very casual from your hotel at Cairo. All having been prearranged with the timings to be experienced to start your Saqqara-Memphis-Dahshur-Day-Tour .
Being the Capital of the Old Kingdom, Memphis in general may be considered the chief or the mightiest city of Egypt. Memphis was founded by King Menes sometime about 3100 BCE, during the early Pharaohs, as the political capital and religious center of Egypt. Now one of the majestic sights of the open-air museum at Memphis is the great-standing statue of Ramses II and the alabaster sphinx. Those huge monuments profess about the glory-filled days of bygone ancient Egypt.
A trip to Memphis would lead a traveler to Saqqara, which kings of all antiquity once frequented, said to be the greatest site of antiquities in Egypt, with the famous Step Pyramid of King Djoser, thought by many to be the oldest monumental stone structure anywhere in the world. This would actually be the peak in architectural work of Imhotep and also represents the very first time in history when Egyptian architecture broke away from simple mudbrick tomb designs toward the construction of stone-faced buildings, of limestone in particular.
Later guides of the great necropolis of Saqqara would go into scare stories about the horrible tombs that had terrible reliefs and hieroglyphs fixed for millennia. The tour then goes on for nearly two hours inside the Pyramid of Teti and one of the rarest monuments—the well-preserved tomb of Kagemni—in which the faintest glimmer of Old Kingdom Egyptian life is reflected.
Discover the Hidden Wonders of Dahshur
A little further south lies Dahshur: unspoiled and yet almost equally charming. Here IBM are: Bent and Red Pyramids, Egypt’s most famous two pyramids. Both had been built for King Sneferu, the father of the somewhat more famous Khufu of Giza.
Because of this strange shape of the Bent Pyramid and the original casing of smooth limestone, it must be looked at as a monument in the history of pyramid building, almost like a symbol for the trials and errors in coming to the perfect design, the great pyramid of Giza. Very close to this one stands the Red Pyramid, so named from the reddish stone of which it is constructed; it is considered to have been the first successful true pyramid in Egypt, whereas the Great Pyramid itself has become much too touristy to allow entrance into its inner passageways and chambers.
Down below these great towers, amidst golden sands and ancient silence, one can begin to see the spirit and ambition of Egypt’s very first builders.
