Then after lunch at a local restaurant, we will head south to Saqqara, the first funerary capital of ancient Egypt, where a completely different world awaits you from the pyramids of Giza, in Saqqara we will be able to explore:
The Step Pyramid of King Djoser: The oldest monumental stone structure in the world, designed by the legendary engineer Imhotep. You will be amazed at the genius of this design that paved the way for the later construction of the pyramids.
The Pyramid of Teti may appear small in comparison to Giza, yet what's truly treasured is inside. Upon entering, you'll see the pyramid texts inscribed on the walls, the oldest religious writings in history, written to secure the king's journey to the afterlife.
Pyramid of Unas: Though crumbling on the outside, its interior walls are filled with sacred inscriptions that inspired the kings of the ancient kingdom. A visit inside will take you to another world of spirituality and funerary beliefs.
Afterward, it's time to relax. We'll take you to the Nile Corniche to enjoy a traditional boat ride that will take you through the timeless waters of the river.
