Mit Rahina Museum

The Mit Rahina is an open Egyptian museum, with several ancient Egyptian artefacts discovered on site.

Memphis city is the centre of Badrasheen in Giza. Memphis was the capital of the first Old Kingdom in ancient Egypt, since the unification of the north and south by King Narmer, until the year 2,200 BC.

Narmer was an ancient Egyptian king of the Early Dynastic period. He was considered the unifier of Egypt, and the founder of the First Dynasty, and in turn the first king of a unified Egypt.

Meanwhile in the New Kingdom, the city of Thebes was the capital, while Memphis was the centre of the political power and government, as it had the rulers’ palaces.

Most of the pieces in the museum date back to the New Kingdom of ancient Egypt. The museum was built around a statue of Ramses in order to protect it. The statue was discovered in the same place as where it currently stands.

The museum consists of two parts, the indoors museum, and the outdoors museum. The indoors area contains that statue of Ramses II, and the ancient columns and statues of dwarfs. On the other hand, the outdoor area contains the Ramses Sphinx, and the Triad of Memphis statue.
