Mit Rahina museum, Archaeological museum in Mit Rahina, Giza Governorate, Egypt.
The Mit Rahina Museum displays artifacts from ancient Memphis, including large stone statues of Ramses II and hieroglyphic inscriptions that document the city's history as a former capital of Egypt during the Old Kingdom period.
Memphis was founded around 3100 BC and served as the political and religious capital of ancient Egypt for thousands of years before its gradual decline and eventual burial under sediment and modern development in the region.
The museum exhibits sculptures, hieroglyphic tablets, and religious objects that illustrate ancient Egyptian beliefs about kingship, death, and the afterlife, providing insight into the social and religious structure of this important civilization throughout its long history.
The museum is open daily from 08:00 to 16:00 and is located at Mit Rahinah in Badrshein, Giza Governorate, with parking and visitor services available for tourists exploring the archaeological site and its outdoor exhibits.
The outdoor museum grounds allow visitors to walk among colossal statues of Ramses II and ancient carved granite monuments in their original location on the site of Memphis, creating a direct connection to Egypt's past.
