Egypt > North of Cairo (1 file)

This gallery has photographs of the main sites North of Cairo, usually visited privately as not part of most Egyptian tours, and includes Heliopolis, Tell Basta near Zagazig and Tanis near the north coast of Egypt
Tell Basta Meryetamun EG077138JHP Tell Basta statue Meryetamun daughter Ramses photo Egypt Delta site at Bubastis a large complex near the town of Zagazig north of Cairo which has recently had a new visitors centre and museum built of which this huge statue is a centrepiece and is suggested to be Ramses daughter Meryetamun but might be his wife Nerfertari but overall the site remains a rather confusing collection of damaged material with the main temple of Bastet reflected in this photographs. Damaged by earthquakes some 2000 years ago as is seen in much of the structural damage today it is still fascinating with the excitement of finding beautiful carvings and examples of the craftsmanship of those ancient builders now hidden away amongst grass and a scatter field of damaged remnants from what was a huge cult site to the Cat Goddess Bastet visited by hundreds and thousands of pilgrims as recorded by Herodotus. Not usually part of normal Egyptian packages but can be visited privately and is part of an interesting day journey that should include Tanis as well.

This gallery contains pictures of the two main sites usually visited together on a day trip south of Cairo - Saqqara with the famous Step Pyramid, a huge necropolis with many tombs and other pyramids and Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt now will an open air museum with the alabaster sphinx and the huge partial statue of Ramasses 11.
Saqqara Tomb Entrance EG051147jhp Saqqara buried tomb door lintel carved entrance hieroglyphs ancient Egyptian is alongside the restored walkway from the Pyramid of Unas near the Step Pyramid and which slopes down to the Valley Temple first seen as visitors arrive at this major complex near Memphis. Recent archaeological work has discovered tombs underneath the causeway such as that of the Two Brothers while many other undiscovered or partially excavated ones lie alongside the causeway as do boat pits. Advised by my custodian guide this was the Tomb of Nefer-mery but I can find no reference to it in any books or the Internet but I have had it confirmed that this is probably correct based on the hieroglyphics on the tomb entrance.
