  1. Saqqara

    Day trip ยท Saqqara

    Saqqara is an ancient necropolis south of Cairo with Egypt's oldest pyramid, painted tombs and active excavations. It is calmer and better organised than Giza.

  2. Step Pyramid of Djoser

    Egypt's first pyramid has a statue of the king sealed in a stone serdab, with peepholes so visitors can see him.

    These huge underground galleries hold granite boxes weighing around 50 tons each. How they were moved underground remains a mystery.
