The Great Pyramid of Cheops:

Seems like the pharaohs of the Old Kingdom; Cheops had the intention to immortalize his glorious remnants to be witnessed for thousands of years so he founded the Great Pyramid which was built during the ruling period of the Fourth Dynasty around 2570 BC. It has been the largest construction on earth for centuries, so it was chosen as one of the Seven World Wonders.

The Great Sphinx:

The awe-inspiring Sphinx is the best-known sculpted monument on earth. This impressive statue was carved out of a singular limestone rock during Pharaoh Chephren’s ruling time (2558-2532 BC). The Sphinx boasts the face of a pharaoh on a lion’s body to represent the wisdom and strength of the king.

The Valley Temple:

The Valley Temple is a wonder of the 4th dynasty, originally stands as a mortuary temple for Pharaoh Chephren and it's a part of the Giza Plateau. It had been used by the Egyptian kings as a center to carry out the mummification of their regal forms before they were transferred to the heavens via the pyramids of Giza.

Stop for lunch at an Egyptian restaurant, then you head to visit:

Saqqara Step Pyramid:

Saqqara, or Djoser Pyramid, is one of the best archeological sites in ancient Memphis. The Djoser Step Pyramid was founded in 2700 BC, and it’s devoted to Pharaoh Djoser, one of the kings who ruled Egypt during the third dynasty. The construction gained its duty as the final resting place for King Zoser and gained its uniqueness due to its unusual six mastabas.

Memphis City:

Memphis City is situated 20 KM south of Cairo at the beginning of the Nile Delta and lies between Lower and Upper Egypt. Due to its significant location, it was selected to be the country's first capital and ruling headquarters. The city was called "Men-Nefer" during the New Kingdom, which means "Beautiful and Enduring." It was later changed to Memfi, which means "Memphis" in Greek.
