    "The most conspicuous landmark of Saqqara is the Step Pyramid, the tomb of the third Dynasty ruler Djoser or Zoser, built by Imhotep and thought to be the earliest major stone structure erected in Egypt. The form of the pyramid can be explained as a development of the large mastabas (mud-brick tombs) of the First and Second Dynasties; the six steps, each smaller than the one below, having been produced by the addition to the original mastaba of successive new layers of masonry, accompanied by the enlargement of the lower stages. The Step Pyramid stands 60 meters high and is built of locally quarried clay sandstone of poor quality.

    3h · Admission ticket included

There, you will find Tutankhamen’s tomb, which was discovered almost intact in 1922, and the tomb of Ramses IV, among others. A ticket will allow you to visit three of the 63 tombs on site, except Tutankhamen’s tomb. The tombs have suffered greatly from treasure hunters and floods in the past and in recent years from mass tourism. Carbon dioxide, friction, and humidity from taking photos with flash inside the tombs produced by the average of 2.8 g of sweat left by each visitor have affected the reliefs and the pigments of the wall paintings. The ministry of antiquities has installed dehumidifiers and glass screens in the worst-affected tombs and introduced a rotation system for opening tombs to the public while restoring others."

She used to rule Egypt as a male king because it wasn’t allowed for a woman to rule Egypt. She married her brother to justify her right to the throne of Egypt. More over, queen Hatshpsut married her stepson Tutmosis III and put him in the shadow for 16 years. When he became an adult, he killed her, and then he became the king of Egypt. As an act of revenge, he destroyed everything related to this queen, so when you visit her temple. in the west bank, you will find that he removed all her names from the walls. The temple of Queen Hatsheput has a unique style consisting of 3 floors cut into the cliffs of the mountain in the Valley of the Kings. Queen Hatsheput was buried in the Valley of the Kings with the pharaohs. We discovered her mummy in the Egyptian Museum store rooms; now it is displayed in the mummy room."
