Saqqara Step Pyramid Tour — Where Pyramid Building Began
The World's Oldest Monumental Stone Structure
Step Pyramid of Djoser — Imhotep's Masterpiece
Our Saqqara Step Pyramid Tour takes you to the vast necropolis serving the ancient capital of Memphis, where the Step Pyramid of Djoser — the world's oldest colossal stone building — rises in six distinct tiers against the desert sky. Designed by the legendary architect Imhotep around 2670 BC, this revolutionary structure marks the transition from simple mastaba tombs to the iconic pyramid form that would define Egyptian civilisation for millennia.
Heb-Sed Court, Serapeum & Tomb of Mereruka
Your private Korean-speaking guide leads you through the 30-hectare complex, explaining the Heb-Sed Court, the Serapeum (underground burial of the sacred Apis bulls), and the beautifully preserved reliefs in the Tomb of Mereruka, which show daily Egyptian life in astonishing detail.
Memphis, Dahshur & the Bent Pyramid
Memphis Open-Air Museum & Colossal Statues
See the colossal statue of Ramesses II and the 80-tonne alabaster sphinx that once guarded the city's temples.
Dahshur — Bent Pyramid & Red Pyramid
Drive to Dahshur to witness two more revolutionary pyramids: the Bent Pyramid, whose angle changes halfway up (possibly a structural correction), and the Red Pyramid, Egypt's first true smooth-sided pyramid. Both are far less crowded than Giza, giving you the rare opportunity to enter the burial chambers of the Red Pyramid with almost no other tourists around. This tour pairs perfectly with a Giza or Cairo tour, offering a complete picture of pyramid evolution over 100 years of ancient Egyptian engineering.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about this tour
How is Saqqara different from Giza?
Saqqara is the older, more experimental pyramid field. While Giza has the three iconic giant pyramids, Saqqara has the Step Pyramid of Djoser (the oldest stone building in the world), the Bent Pyramid, and the Red Pyramid. It is much less crowded, and you can often enter the Red Pyramid alone.
Should I visit Saqqara or Giza if I only have one day?
If you have only one day, we recommend our Cairo Private Tour which includes Giza. If you have two days, add Saqqara on the second day — they complement each other perfectly and show the full evolution of pyramid building.
Can I enter the pyramids at Saqqara?
Yes, you can enter the Red Pyramid and the Bent Pyramid at Dahshur (part of the Saqqara necropolis). The Red Pyramid is less crowded than the Great Pyramid and you can descend into the burial chamber alone. The Step Pyramid itself is not open for entry, but you can walk around it.
Is lunch available near Saqqara?
There are several local restaurants near Saqqara offering grilled meats, stuffed pigeon (hamam), and traditional Egyptian dishes. Your guide will recommend a clean and comfortable option. A picnic lunch surrounded by desert views can also be arranged.
Travel Tips & Guide
Practical travel advice from our local experts to help you prepare for the perfect Egypt trip
Less Crowded Than Giza
Saqqara receives far fewer visitors than the Giza Pyramids, offering a more intimate experience. You can often enter the Red Pyramid completely alone. The vast necropolis covers 7km of desert with pyramids, mastabas, and tombs spanning 3,000 years. Take your time exploring — there is no rush at Saqqara.
Step Pyramid Details
The Step Pyramid of Djoser is the world's oldest large-scale stone building (c. 2670 BC). You cannot enter it but you can walk around the entire complex including the Heb-Sed court, the South Tomb, and the colonnaded entrance. The restoration work has been extensive — it looks remarkably intact for its age.
Dahshur Pyramids
The Bent Pyramid and Red Pyramid at Dahshur are often the highlight of the Saqqara tour. The Bent Pyramid shows an architectural experiment where the angle was changed mid-construction. The Red Pyramid is Egypt's first true smooth-sided pyramid and you can enter its burial chamber for free (included in the Dahshur ticket).
Memphis Museum
The open-air Memphis Museum houses the colossal statue of Ramesses II (10 metres tall, lying down) and the alabaster Sphinx. The museum is small but significant — it was the capital of Ancient Egypt during the Old Kingdom. Allow 30-45 minutes to see all exhibits. The garden setting is pleasant for a short break.

Review for bodda tour with yejin
"Thanks to Yeejin, Siwa and I had a really great time and have returned safely to Korea. Thank you. The thing is, the Siwa guide friend did so well that I really wanted to treat them to something. But I thought we'd meet the next day and we parted late at night so I couldn't do anything. Since we came back to Korea, my family keeps talking about the Siwa guide uncle and said it was so great..."

First Desert Tour in Egypt, Better Than Any Other
It was our first tour in Egypt and also my very first desert tour, and we had such a romantic, fun and happy time. My wife even said she liked the desert tour in Egypt more than any desert tour she has experienced in other countries. If any of my friends or family ever visits Egypt, I will definitely recommend your tour.
