Memphis

During Egypt’s Old Kingdom period, Memphis, situated near Cairo, served as the capital and home to the pharaohs who constructed the pyramids. While the grand pyramids have withstood the test of time, the domestic architecture of Memphis has largely vanished. Today, visitors can explore the Mit Rahina open-air sculpture museum, which preserves the remaining relics of this ancient city. The museum offers a glimpse into the past through its collection of statues and artifacts, providing a tangible connection to the once-thriving metropolis.
