Saqqara Pyramids and the Step Pyramid of Zoser
Your tour representative will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo and transfer you to the Step Pyramid of Zoser, the world's oldest major stone structure. It was built in the 3rd Dynasty, around 2630 BC, for King Djoser.
The famous Step Pyramid of Sakkara is considered the first large-scale carved stone structure in the world. As its name suggests, it is a series of six levels of stone that decrease in size until they reach a height of 62 meters (200 feet). This structure predates the later pyramids and is vital to archaeologists' understanding of the development of pyramid construction.
You will also visit the museum of Imnhotep, the tomb of a high official, the pyramid of King Titi, the pyramid of King Unas, and the nobles' tombs.
After the tour, return to your hotel in Cairo.
