Begin in Memphis, Egypt’s first capital, where you’ll tour the Mit Rahina Open‑Air Museum and see the impressive colossal statue of Ramses II and the striking Alabaster Sphinx—perfect photo moments. Continue to Saqqara, home of the world‑famous Step Pyramid of Djoser, the oldest stone monument on Earth and a masterpiece of Imhotep. Walk through this vast desert necropolis, explore ancient tombs and smaller pyramids, and feel truly connected to over 4,000 years of history.
