Memphis is known to the Egyptians as "Hout-ka-Ptah" or "Castle of the Ka or Ptah". This could be the origin of the word Egypt from the greek word Aiguptios.
The ruins of the ancient city of Memphis are on the Left Bank of the Nile River about 19 miles south of Cairo.
The ruins of the pyramids of Giza and Saggara are the two main necropolises of Memphis and Memphis has played a key role in Egyptian history over the past 3000 years.
Memphis was founded by its 1st Dynasty king Menes or (Narmer).
Memphis is located between the Upper and Lower Egypt near the point of divergence of the Nile Delta. It gets its
name from the Greek form of the Egyptian name Men-neter which was the abreviation of the name of the Pyramid
Of Pepy I at Saggara.
It should be remembered that Memphis was the capital of Egypt and Giza and Saggara were suberbs to Memphis. It was also called Menufer by the Egyptians. Very little of its' greatness remains today!
You should visit Memphis before visiting any of the other sites in Egypt!

Cairo International is the second busiest airport in Africa with over 65 airlines using the Cairo airport (including charter airlines) and 9 cargo airlines. With the assimilation of EgyptAir into Star Alliance in July 2008 the airport has the potential to be a major hub with its positioning between Africa, the Middle East and Europe.
