About Saqqara
Saqqara is one of Egypt’s most important archaeological sites, serving as the ancient necropolis of Memphis for over 3,000 years. The area is best known for the Step Pyramid of Djoser — the world’s oldest large-scale stone structure — which marks a revolutionary moment in ancient architecture.
Beyond the famous pyramid, Saqqara is home to countless tombs, smaller pyramids, and richly decorated burial chambers featuring vivid scenes of daily life, religious rituals, and ancient craftsmanship. Spread across a vast desert plateau, the site offers a quieter, more immersive experience compared to Giza.
Walking through Saqqara feels like stepping back to the very beginnings of monumental construction in Egypt, making it a must-visit for history lovers seeking depth, authenticity, and space to explore.
