Memfes

Remains of what once was a capital of the Old Kingdom and a chief cult city of Ptah. A must see. Great Temple of Ptah is the main highlight.

Rating: 5/5

The oldest pyramid in Giza and certainly the most impressive one. The last of Seven Wonders of the Ancient World that has remained.

This extraordinary stepped pyramid is a centrepiece of Saqqara necropolis and draws as much tourists as the pyramids of Giza.

This stupendous 45 m long sandstone statue seems to watch over the pyramids of Giza. The origin of the monument is entangled with mystery.

A pyramid of unusual shape marking the development of the ideal form. Surrounded by complementary structures.

Seemingly higher than Khufu pyramid, easily recognisable by its limestone cap. The burial chambers are open to public.

The smallest pyramid in Giza. There are traces of dismantling attempts on the north side that the pyramid easily endured.

This museum holds an extensive collection of Egyptian Christian artefacts with rich variety of objects on display.

Get off the main tourist path to visit this tomb and descend into its burial chamber to see the sarcophagus.

Used to serve as a burial site for the nearby Memphis. Worth visiting not only for the pyramids, but also for the tombs and ruins scattered around.

The third largest Egyptian pyramid got its name after the reddish stone it's made of. The interiors are open to public.
