    Arriving at the Saqqara necropolis complex, your certified Egyptologist guide will lead you to the Step Pyramid of King Djoser - the oldest stone structure in the world.

    Next, you'll head to the quiet and less-crowded necropolis of Dahshur, where your guide will walk you through two of Egypt’s most unique pyramids: the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid. You’ll learn why the Bent Pyramid has its unusual shape and how the Red Pyramid became the first true smooth-sided pyramid - a critical step toward the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza.
