SAQQARA STEP PYRAMID AND MEMPHIS TOURS

Saqqara Step Pyramid and Memphis Tours is a popular tourist destination in Egypt. Saqqara is an ancient burial ground located near Cairo, and the Step Pyramid is one of its most significant attractions. Memphis, on the other hand, was the capital of ancient Egypt and is home to various archaeological sites and monuments.

 

A tour to Saqqara and Memphis typically starts in Cairo, where you'll be picked up by a guide and driven to the sites. Once you arrive at Saqqara, you'll have the opportunity to explore the Step Pyramid, which is considered one of the earliest colossal stone buildings and a precursor to the famous pyramids in Giza. The Step Pyramid was built for Pharaoh Djoser by his architect, Imhotep, around 2700 BC.

 

Your guide will provide you with information about the history and significance of the Step Pyramid and its surrounding complex. You'll also have the chance to see other tombs and structures in Saqqara, including mastabas (rectangular tombs) and the Serapeum, which housed the burial chambers of sacred bulls.

 

After visiting Saqqara, the tour usually proceeds to Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt. In Memphis, you'll explore the ruins of this once-great city, including the colossal statue of Ramses II and the Alabaster Sphinx. The statue of Ramses II is one of the largest preserved statues from ancient Egypt and is a remarkable sight to behold.

 

Throughout the tour, your guide will provide you with historical and cultural information, helping you to understand the significance of these ancient sites. They can answer your questions and provide insights into the fascinating world of ancient Egypt.

 

It's worth noting that tour itineraries may vary depending on the tour operator and the duration of the tour. Some tours may include additional stops, such as the Giza Pyramids or the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, while others may focus exclusively on Saqqara and Memphis.
