  2. Saqqara Pyramid
    2h · Admission ticket not included
    Saqqara is an ancient burial ground in Egypt, near the old capital Memphis. It became famous during the time of King Djoser, who built the Step Pyramid of Djoser—the first pyramid ever constructed.

    This pyramid was designed by the brilliant architect Imhotep and marked the beginning of pyramid building in ancient Egypt.

    Over time, Saqqara became a vast cemetery filled with tombs of nobles, decorated with carvings that show daily life, religion, and traditions of ancient Egyptians.

    1h
    Following your tour in Saqqara, you’ll enjoy a truly authentic Egyptian lunch prepared with homemade recipes, just like in a local Egyptian home—not tourist-style food.
