Our "Egypt Accessible Travel" expert tour guide will pick you up to visit Dahshur and Sakkara Pyramids:
Since the Old Kingdom until now, Sakkara has been the most important cemetery. More than you could have possibly imagined. In this well-known place, you can see the oldest pyramid in the world and one of the most important archaeological sites.
The oldest stone structures in Ancient Egypt are the step pyramids, which are 4,800 years old. Find out what changes the well-known architect Imhotep made to the royal tomb that was new and different. Amazingly, limestone was used instead of fragile mudbrick on such a large scale. You and your guide will spend some time in one of the tombs of the rich people.
The murals and reliefs on the walls show scenes from ancient Egypt. Amazingly, the paint and dyes can still be seen. The next stop on the trip is the entrance to the pyramid of Titi, which has hieroglyphic writing from 2340 B.C.
One of the less-visited but still important places in Giza is the graveyard of Dahshour. The Giza pyramids are about 24 kilometers (15 miles) away. King Snefru, who started the fourth dynasty, built three pyramids: the Bent Pyramid, the Red Pyramid, and the small Ka Pyramid.
This kind of pyramid connects the Step Pyramid to the Great Pyramid. Find out how the shape of the Bent pyramid was made and how big it got over time. Explore the area around the pyramids and go inside some of them.
