Memphis, Saqqara and the Great Pyramids of Giza
A visit to the open air museum of Memphis, founded by King Menes to unite Upper and Lower Egypt in 3100 BC and therefore the oldest capital of Egypt. Students saw the impressive Colosses of Ramesses II and the Alabaster Sphinx, carved in honor of an unknown Pharaoh in addition to a number of other artifacts and statues.
Our visit to the Great Pyramids in Giza included a camel ride across the desert:)
