Attractions near to Memphis and its Necropolis

Saqqara Necropolis 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.	Step pyramid of Djoser This extraordinary stepped pyramid is a centrepiece of Saqqara necropolis and draws as much tourists as the pyramids of Giza.
Pyramid of Teti I Even if it doesn't seem so by the look at the hill-like pyramid, its chambers and corridors are exceptionally preserved and open to tourists.	Mastaba of Ti A prime example of outstanding funerary architecture. Its grand design and rich decorations are difficult to compare.
Abusir If you're tired of swarms of tourists, this group of seven smaller pyramids is just for you as it's off the beaten track.	Imhotep Museum This museum provides an insight into the excavations of Saqqara as it displays properly commented findings.
Red Pyramid The third largest Egyptian pyramid got its name after the reddish stone it's made of. The interiors are open to public.	Pyramid of Amenemhat III This pyramid owes its desultory shape to being made of clay and mud instead of stone. The capstone is covered with inscriptions.
Bent Pyramid of Sneferu A pyramid of unusual shape marking the development of the ideal form. Surrounded by complementary structures.	Statues of Rameses II Visit the local archaeological museum adjacent to the site to see the impressive statue of the Pharaoh.
