Saqqara (Sakkara) Pyramids - An Egyptologist tour guide will meet you at your hotel in Cairo or Giza to escort you to Saqqara in a private, air-conditioned vehicle.
Your tour will commence with a visit to the Complex of King Djoser, which dates back to the third dynasty. This complex is recognized as the first complete stone structure in ancient Egyptian civilization and includes the first pyramid, the step pyramid. You will have the chance to explore inside and view the burial chamber of King Djoser from above (ticket not included). It’s a worthwhile experience.
Next, you will proceed to other royal pyramids, such as the Teti pyramid from the Sixth dynasty.
Following this, you will visit the tombs of high officials from the old and new kingdoms, including the Kagemni tomb.
- Memphis and Sakkara - Continue to Discover: MitRahina (Memphis) statue of Ramses II.
The only remaining evidence of Memphis is this remarkable open-air museum, centered around a stunning fallen colossal limestone statue of Ramses II. Its reclining position offers a unique opportunity to closely examine the intricate carvings – even the pharaoh’s nipples are meticulously detailed. Its counterpart is the statue that stood in Midan Ramses in Cairo until 2006, when it was relocated to stand guard by the Grand Egyptian Museum construction site.
- Dahshur - Continue to Discover: Dahshur
Dahshur is situated in the southern part of Memphis, which was the capital of ancient Egypt. King Senefru selected the Dahshur plateau to construct his first pyramid to compete with Djoser’s pyramid, but he was unable to complete it, resulting in the first half-broken pyramid.
- Also located in this area are The Red Pyramid and The Bent Pyramid.
