  Saqqara (Sakkara) Pyramids

  Continue to Saqqara, home to the legendary Step Pyramid of Djoser—the oldest large-scale stone structure in history. Built in the 27th century BC during the Third Dynasty for Pharaoh Djoser, this revolutionary six-tier pyramid marked a major turning point in ancient Egyptian architecture and pyramid construction. Saqqara later became a vast necropolis for royalty and high officials for over 3,000 years.

  End your tour in Dahshur, one of Egypt’s most important experimental pyramid sites. Here you will see the famous Bent Pyramid, built by King Sneferu, which represents the transitional phase from step pyramids to smooth-sided pyramids. The site provides valuable insight into the architectural advancements that eventually led to the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza. After completing your exploration, relax as you are comfortably transferred back to your hotel.
