Why should I visit Saqqara after the Giza Pyramids?

What is the oldest pyramid in Egypt?
The Step Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara is generally recognized as the earliest large-scale stone pyramid and an important step in the development of pyramid architecture.
Can I see the Step Pyramid of Djoser on a day trip from Cairo?
Yes. Saqqara is easily combined with the Giza Pyramids on a full-day archaeological tour from Cairo.
Are the Tombs of the Nobles in Saqqara worth visiting?
They are known for their decorated walls and scenes depicting aspects of daily life, work, offerings, and funerary practices in ancient Egypt.
