Start with Saqqara
This area is believed to be almost five thousand years old and covers about seven kilometres of desert.
Even though these pyramids may not pop into your head first when thinking of Cairo, these are best for a more relaxed tour with less people around.
Travellers with additional time should also pay a visit to Kagemni’s Tomb and Ti’s Mastaba.
Here, you can take all day to explore these:
This pyramid the earliest example of a royal mausoleum and serves as the foundation for succeeding pyramids.
The shape of the Djoser Pyramid, usually referred to as the Step Pyramid, is one-of-kind. It is not a uniform structure. It’s built just like steps, with the biggest constructions on the bottom and gradually getting smaller towards the top. This is not a regular pyramid, which is one of the reasons you should definitely see it!
Probably, like most tourists you had never heard of Teti before your trip to Egypt, but it will definitely be worth exploring!
The Pyramid of Teti looks to be a little mound of rocks in disarray from the outside. It seems to be in such a bad state that you will hesitate whether or not to enter.
However, Teti Pyramid’s interior is absolutely stunning. You will find numerous beautiful hieroglyphs that have actually been well-maintained.
End your day with a rooftop view of the Giza Pyramids
Mark your stay at Giza for the night to copiously experience the majesty of the pyramids at night and early in the morning. In Giza, a slew of hotels fight for near-unobstructed views of the three triangle monuments that tower above the city.
