Itinerary
our tour guide will pick up from your hotel to enjoy your half day tour :he original name of the city was Hiku-Ptah (also Hut-Ka-Ptah) but it was later known as Inbu-Hedj which means 'White Walls' because it was built of mud brick and then painted white. By the time of the Old Kingdom (c. 2613-2181 BCE) it was known as Men-nefer ("the enduring and beautiful") which was translated by the Greeks into 'Memphis.' It was allegedly founded by the king Menes (c. 3150 BCE) who united the two lands of Egypt into a single country. The kings of the Early Dynastic Period in Egypt (c. 3150-2613 BCE) and Old Kingdom (c. 2613-2181 BCE) ruled from Memphis, and even when it was not the capital, it remained an important commercial and cultural center.
The most famous structure by far at Saqqara is Djoser’s Step Pyramid. Dating from the 3rd dynasty (2667—2448 BC), it was the first all-stone complex ever built on earth. It also displays an important architectural innovation for the construction of the Giza Pyramids and other later pyramids in the 4th dynasty and later.

Hamdy and Assem picked me up quickly even though I booked last minute. The ride was comfortable in a wel Air Conditioned Car. Hamdy was very knowledgeable and friendly on the hr long trip to Memphis. He gave me a great tour. Due to time we had to quickly go to Sakkar. Which was beautiful. He took photos for me. Gave me an in-depth explanation. Got me in to see some cool extra things and gave a great in-depth explanation of each tomb, pyramid, and dynasty. If I had more time I would book directly with them. I even forgot my headphones in the taxi, and they all coordinated a delivery back to me the very next morning. I am super grateful and definitely recommend this team to anyone.
