DAY 3: Mon - Memphis, Sakkara, Josephs Storehouses
After breakfast we start our full day tour. We enjoy a short ride to Memphis. Memphis was founded around 3,100 BC. It was the legendary city of Menes, the King who united Upper and Lower Egypt. From a Biblical perspective, Memphis was the place where Abraham lied to Pharaoh about his wife Sarah being his sister. Further, it is believed to be the location where Joseph served as second in command. While in Memphis we view a very large and well preserved statue of Ramses II. Next we travel to Sakkara, which is one of the most extensive archaeological sites in Egypt. Sakkara is dominated by the Step Pyramid of King Zoser, dating back to 2700 BC.

Then we take a short southern drive to Faiyum, the region created by the wisdom of Joseph.
