We offer a variety of activities in Saqqara, the renowned necropolis of the ancient Kingdom from the third dynasty. This includes the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the oldest pyramid ever built and attributed to Egyptian civilization, which attracts many tourists during their Egypt tours. You will also discover the Pyramid of Unas, the Egyptian pharaoh Unas, the ninth and last king of the Fifth Dynasty. This historical site, located near Cairo, contains numerous tombs, temples, and monuments dating back to the Old Kingdom of Egypt.
The Tomb of Idut (Idu) is famous for its colorful scenes that depict daily life activities, including fishing, scribes, a statue of the Princess, agricultural activities, papyrus harvest, livestock, and butchers.
The pyramid of Teti at Saqqara, the founder of the Sixth Dynasty who ruled Egypt after Pharaoh Unas, followed the example of Unas.
The central masonry of the pyramid was made of tightly packed stone blocks, enclosed in fine limestone, and included a lot of kings.
