Badrashin

Badrashin (Arabic: البدرشين) is a city, and capital of the eponymous markaz (county), in Giza Governorate, Egypt.

[1] Badrashin County is the site of Ancient Egypt's royal capital, Men-nefer (Memphis).

While much of the actual city is now buried under modern villages, its royal tombs and pyramids, the Memphite Necropolis, is listed as a UNESCO world heritage site.

The village of Saqqara hosts the first stone building in history, the pyramid of King Djoser and amphitheatre.

[citation needed] Badrashin is 30 km southwest of Cairo on the west bank of the Nile river.
