Dive into the heart of the Old Kingdom with a professional Day Tour To Saqqara, the world’s most significant ancient necropolis. This excursion focuses on the revolutionary Step Pyramid of Djoser, the first colossal stone building in history, and its surrounding funerary complex. You will explore the sacred enclosure walls, the Heb-Sed court, and the mysterious Serdab, where the king’s spirit once resided. It is a high-quality journey designed for travelers who want to see where the very concept of the pyramid began, far beyond the typical Giza experience.

Your Day Tour To Saqqara continues with a deep dive into the desert's hidden gems, including the majestic Serapeum, where 24 massive granite sarcophagi once held the sacred Apis bulls. You will also enter the pyramids of Unas and Teti to witness the earliest religious inscriptions, known as the Pyramid Texts, and visit the elaborately decorated mastaba tombs of Mereruka and Kagemni. With private air-conditioned transport and an expert Egyptologist, this itinerary provides an elite look at the daily lives and afterlife beliefs of Egypt’s most powerful nobles and pharaohs.
