- Head to Memphis, which was founded by King Menes and was the capital of Egypt during the Old Kingdom, it was considered to be a centre of rule and culture for over 3000 years the first capital of Egypt, and see the Statue of Ramses II and the Alabaster Sphinx of Memphis.
- Next, travel to Dahshur. Two of the later pyramids constructed here have been destroyed by time, and the elements and several others, such as the Black Pyramid (12th Dynasty, 1929-1885 BC), are badly damaged. Still, Dahshur boasts two of Egypt’s best-preserved early pyramids, the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid. Both, built during the reign of King Sneferu (2613-2589 BC), the founder of the 4th Dynasty, are massive evidence of the architectural development that led to the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza.
