From your accommodation at any hotel in Sharm el Sheikh, we will take you in a modern, air-conditioned private car to Cairo, where we can explore one of the most popular places of interest. Once in Cairo, our professional guide will accompany you on your excursion to Saqqara, where we will explore the following:
The Pyramid of Djoser, which is considered the beginning that changed history, as it is regarded as the first example of monumental stone architecture in the world. Built in the 27th century BC by the genius engineer Imhotep, this pyramid is a masterpiece consisting of six terraces rising toward the sky in a scene that inspires awe and pride. Here, you will feel that you are standing before the foundation stone of Egyptian civilisation, where dreams were turned into stones, and stones into symbols of eternity. The atmosphere of the place tells the story of King Djoser, who wanted to remain immortal among the stars, so his pyramid became an eternal icon in the history of humanity.
King Unas Pyramid: You will be surprised both spiritually and aesthetically by this pyramid. Despite its small size, it contains a treasure trove of inscriptions that are considered an extension and development of the Pyramid Texts. It is also distinguished by its walls covered with scenes depicting the king's journey to the afterlife, with colourful texts and drawings that have retained their lustre for thousands of years. Visiting the Pyramid of Unas is like entering an ancient illustrated book, where letters turn into drawings and symbols turn into wings that carry you through a world of mystery and eternity.
King Teti's pyramid, who founded the Sixth Dynasty, will show you that greatness isn't just about how big a building is, but what's written on the walls of this unique pyramid. These sacred inscriptions, which are etched in hieroglyphics on the inside stone walls, are the oldest pyramid manuscripts in history. These spells were not just writing but heavenly songs that helped the king cross over into the world of the dead and reach eternity.
In Saqqara, between Zoser, Teti, and Unas, you will see the evolution of ancient Egyptian thought from the first massive step pyramid to sacred texts engraved on walls to an illustrated heavenly book that illuminates the path to eternity. At the end, we will take you back to your hotel in Sharm el Sheikh.
