Our representative will meet you in front of Cairo Airport or any place in Cairo and Giza to start your visit to the Saqqara Pyramids. We start with the Pyramid of Djoser, also called the Step Pyramid of Saqqara. In this place, witness the genius of Jean Philippe, as he re-installed the stones, for example, creating the entrance corridor. The statue of Djoser was also transferred to the Egyptian Museum, and Jean Philippe carved a statue of Djoser and placed it in the funerary complex instead of the original.
Also located in the area is the Pyramid of Unas, where inscriptions known as the Pyramid Texts were discovered. These are the main innovations of the Pyramid of Unas, and were first engraved on the interior walls. A total of 283 incantations, out of at least 1,000 known incantations and an unknown number of unknown ones, appeared in the Pyramid of Unas.
You will be taken to the Pyramid of Teti, a pyramid plundered by thieves who burned everything in their path to the burial chamber and smashed the granite barriers, however, it is also important because every stone in Egypt is important because it tells us about this ancient and unique civilization.
After that, your guide will take you to the tomb of Idut. This tomb was originally for the Prime Minister of King Unes, the Minister “Ayhi”. But Princess Edut took her.
We move to the Imhotep Museum, a very important figure, to the point that the ancient Egyptians took him as their god. The museum displays a number of artifacts discovered in Saqqara, including the most important and oldest collection of surgical instruments, as well as bronze statues of Egyptian deities, models of the architectural elements of the Djoser pyramid complex, and the most important possessions of the kings of the Fifth and Sixth Dynasties, most notably the mummy of King Meryenre, one of the kings of the Sixth Dynasty. Finally, we transfer you to any place in Cairo.
