Start your sightseeing in Cairo when you arrive at the necropolis of Saqqara to enter the site from the original entrance thanks to the efforts of the French archaeologist Jean Philippe Lauer who spent 70 years restoring the monuments of the site of the Step Pyramid. The pyramid got its name because it started from a rectangular mastaba or base in which the burial chamber is 28 meters below, and the queen's burial chamber is 32 meters, then another 5 stories were added above each other to take the form of stairs.

Imhotep, the genius architect who designed the pyramid and held many titles during his lifetime, used the pillared stones exactly the same shape as the original material used by the early Egyptians during that time (reeds-palm trees-wood). Everything that Imhotep built here is destined for the concept of the afterlife, as the soul of the deceased pharaoh could continue to the sky with the support of the offerings and the burial rituals such as the sacred pyramid text. A lot of fancy silver and brass objects were found under the pyramid and were used as offering supports, now are displayed inside the temple of Imhotep on your way out of the Saqqara archaeological site.
