Day 2: Visit to Memphis Pyramid
After your breakfast at the hotel, our tour guide will meet you in the lobby in the morning to begin your tour. Your first stop will be the Memphis Pyramid. Originally, the pyramid was about 52 meters high with a base measuring approximately 78 meters. However, a lot of the structure has been worn away or damaged over time, and today it stands at around 15 meters in height.
The Memphis Pyramid is different from other major pyramids in Egypt because it was not built using large, precisely cut stone blocks.
Instead, it was constructed using mud bricks that were later covered with limestone. This method of construction is one of the reasons why the pyramid has not lasted as long as similar structures at Giza and other sites in Egypt.
