the wonder and awe that so many writers & artists have sought To convey over
the centuries. The Cheops Pyramid is especially interesting Since its
interior burial chambers are open for inspection by the public.
Not far from the Pyramids
is the Great Sphinx of Giza, which dates from the time of Chephren (2620BC).
Hewn from natural yellowish limestone & standing 65 feet high & 187 feet
long, this unforgettable statue combines the head of a Pharaoh with a lion’s
body.
Memphis

1st Dynasty. Menes, the first pharaoh of this dynasty, built a great
white-walled palace & the Temple of Ptah here
Sakkara
one of the most exciting historical & archaeological area in all of Egypt
is Sakkara, situated about 12 miles South West of Cairo. The site is
