Begin your unconventional day tour with a visit to Saqqara, one of the largest and most remarkable cemeteries of ancient Egypt. This is where the foundations of pyramid building first began, and where you will explore the famous Step Pyramid of Djoser, the very first pyramid ever built and the earliest stone monument in the world, designed by the legendary architect Imhotep. Your journey continues with a visit inside the Pyramid of Teti and the Tomb of King Unas, both home to beautifully inscribed burial chambers that remain among the most spectacular of all accessible pyramids. From there, explore the fascinating Serapeum of Saqqara, the sacred burial site of the Apis bulls, which were revered as living manifestations of the god Ptah. The site, dating back to the reign of Amenhotep III, holds deep historical and spiritual significance.
