The sound stop on your trip is the Pyramid of Unas. The fact that this pyramid contains the original example of the eulogy texts known as Pyramid Texts gives it great significance. These texts, which were engraved on the burial chamber's walls, contained magical instructions that aided the deceased pharaoh's journey to the afterlife.
After that, you will visit the tomb of Idut, At this location, it is one of the most significant tombs. When the Fifth Dynasty came to an end and the Sixth Dynasty began, the owner of the object was a princess from the Royal Family. The tomb is renowned for its enchanting scenes, which stand out for their gorgeous multiple colors and vivid depictions of offering-making and other regular activities, which are distinguished by their charm.
then you'll visit Saqqara's Tite Pyramid. With texts from other pyramids, it is the second known pyramid. Excavations have revealed a funerary temple, two queen pyramids with associated cult structures, and a satellite pyramid.
Moreover, you'll go to the Mereruka tomb. The mastaba of Mereruka is the largest and most elaborate of all the non-royal tombs in Saqqara, with a total of 33 rooms or chambers.
