All about the trip

Visit the large necropolis of Saqqara and the ancient Egyptian capital of Memphis. Discover the Step pyramid of Djoser, explore the pyramids of Unas and Teti and admire the huge statue of Rameses II.

Saqqara is located 30 km from Cairo and after the short drive we begin our tour at the Imhotep Museum displaying some of the most amazing artifacts of the Saqqara necropolis.

We continue to the Step pyramid of Djoser and the Funerary complex of Djoser. Our next stop is the pyramid of Unas where the first "pyramid texts" were found.

We see the smooth-sided pyramid of Teti before we venture to the catacombs of the Serapeum where a mummy of a sacred bull Apis was found.

Finally we visit the open-air museum of Memphis with a giant limestone statue of the pharaoh Rameses II.
