Upon arrival, a professional guide meets you and accompanies the group on a drive to Memphis. The visit here includes the open-air museum, where the colossal statue of Ramses II leaves a lasting impression and the alabaster sphinx stands as a reminder of the city’s ancient grandeur. After exploring Memphis, the journey continues to Dahshur. Travelers will have the chance to enter the Red Pyramid, the first successful smooth-sided pyramid, and admire the unusual structure of the Bent Pyramid, with its unique angled design that still puzzles historians.
