- Great Sphinx - Continue the journey to the Great Sphinx, which features a pharaoh’s head on a lion’s body. Dating back to the era of Khephren, this Sphinx was created to guard King Chefren’s pyramid. Next, visit the Valley Temple, associated with Chefren’s Pyramid, which served as a mummification site for the king before burial. Then, proceed to Memphis, the oldest capital.
- Memphis and Sakkara - The oldest structures in Cairo date back only a couple of centuries BC during the Greco-Roman period. However, on the city’s outskirts stand the Giza Pyramids, some of the world’s oldest structures. Despite their proximity to Cairo, the age difference between the pyramids and the city highlights their distinct histories.
The pyramids at Giza and other desert locations near Cairo are remnants of an ancient city and civilization that declined long before Cairo’s establishment. This civilization named the area Memphis, which was the Old Kingdom’s (2686—2181 BC) seat of power in Ancient Egypt, home to the pharaohs who built the pyramids.

Saqqara (Sakkara) Pyramids - Saqqara is one of several notable necropolis sites near Cairo, offering impressive sights and significant archaeological value. Saqqara may even hold more interest for archaeologists than Giza. The vast site contains burials from before the Old Kingdom through the Greek Period of Egyptian history.
The most famous structure at Saqqara is Djoser’s Step Pyramid. Dating from the 3rd dynasty (2667—2448 BC), it was the first all-stone complex ever built. It also introduced an important architectural innovation for constructing the Giza Pyramids and later pyramids in the 4th dynasty and beyond.
Djoser’s pyramid was the first to use multiple mastabas (rectangular tomb structures) stacked to form a step pyramid. This construction paved the way for the smooth sides of the Giza Pyramids and the smaller 5th and 6th dynasty pyramids found at Saqqara and nearby sites like Dahshur and Abu Sir.
