As far as I know, it is possible to visit Memphis by public transport but it's difficult and time-consuming. We came as part of a day-trip to Dahshur, Saqqara and Giza, and paid 220LE for the taxi and driver for the whole day, through our hotel.

Helpfulness
I decided not to use public transportation to see the different pyramids outside Cairo (Dahshur is not easy to reach by public transport), but to pay for a car with driver. I asked at the travel agent, which is open a few hours a day at Garden City House Hotel. There was no one to chare the price with so finally I went alone. For the transport to Dahshur, Memphis, Saqqara and the pyramids at Giza I paid 150 pounds. All sights are close to Cairo and with a car they can easily be seen in a day.
It is possible to visit Memphis by public transport but it is complicated and takes a very long time to go there. I don’t think it would be worth it.

Memphis, like many places in Egypt has ancient treasures to behold. It is an easy day trip from Cairo and can be added with other destinations in the same day.
