It was built during the 27th century BC to bury the pharaoh Djoser; it was built for him by his vizier Imhotep. The architect and physician Imhotep was the primary architect of the vast funerary complex in the pyramid’s courtyard and the surrounding ceremonial structures.

Memphis (Mit Rahina), Memphis (or Men-Nefer) (Greek: Μέμφις) was an ancient Egyptian city and the ancient capital of Inb-Hajj, the first of the Lower Egyptian nomes known as mḥw (North). Its ruins are located near the modern city of Mit Rahina, 20 km (12 mi) south of Giza in Greater Cairo, Egypt.

Day Tour: Sakkara:Step Pyramid, Mit Rahina (Memphis ) & Dahshur Pyramids

In the morning. Your  tour guide will be pick you up from your hotel in Cairo to visit the highlights of Cairo. Start your tour and We will head to the first stop in our tour

The Step Pyramid of Djoser

The first Egyptian pyramid consisted of six mastabas built on top of each other, a huge improvement on the design of tombs of the period, which had previously had a single mastaba. The Step Pyramid of Djoser was 62 metres (203 ft) high, with a base measuring 109 m × 125 m (358 ft × 410 ft), and was faced with polished white limestone. The Step Pyramid is considered the first stone structure of its time, although the courtyard known as the Djesr el-Mudir appears to have preceded the pyramid.

Memphis (Mit Rahina)

The history of Memphis is closely linked to that of the country itself. Its eventual decline is thought to have been due to the loss of its economic importance in late antiquity, following the rise of the city of Alexandria. Memphis’ religious importance waned after the old religion was abandoned following the Edict of Thessalonica in 380 AD, which imposed the adoption of Nicene Christianity only throughout the Roman Empire.

Today, the ruins of the former capital offer fragmentary evidence of its past. Along with the pyramid complex at Giza, it has been preserved as a World Heritage Site since 1979. The site is open to the public as an open-air museum.

Dahshour Pyramids

During the 12th Dynasty, King Amenemhat II built a pyramid in Dahshur, now called the White Pyramid, but its sandy facade eroded due to weather factors, so its limestone was used in other pyramids, and the stone collapsed, thus desecrating the tomb of King Amenemhat II.

King Senusret III also built another pyramid in Dahshur, and built tombs for the princesses Sitathor and Merit. A number of royal tombs for royal princesses were also found in Dahshur, containing a large quantity of finely crafted jewels and jewelry.

In addition to several small pyramids for royal princesses south of Dahshur. There were also several large tombs for some officials of the Old and Middle Egyptian kingdoms in Dahshur around the pyramids of Dahshur.
