Description of Tour

The tour will start at the very first ancient capital of Egypt: Memphis. Ancient ruins will be visited here such as the ruins of the fallen Statue of King Ramses the 2^nd, and the Alabaster Sphinx of King Amenhopis the 2^nd.

At Sakkara there lies the ancient cemetery. At this site you will be amazed to see the Step Pyramid of King Zoser, which was the worlds first monumental building. The visit will continue with a tour of the tombs nearby as well as the Mastabas of Mereruka, Ti, Kagemni, and Ptah-Hotep.

Next is the Pharaonic Village where an actual life-like model of the pharaos and their lifestyle and daily activities will be witnessed as you ride a yacht down the river Nile.

The next stop will be the Papyrus Institute. See for yourself the way that the ancient Egyptians used to make paper. All kinds of souvenirs are available for you to take home.
