The Saqqara Step Pyramid Tour means to find yourself surrounded by ruins dating back to the 3rd dynasty rule of Djoser in the 27th century BC.

While following one step after the other with your feet in this majestic land until you arrive at a pyramid of limestone. You are in front of the first attempt at building the pyramids in history.

The Saqqara Step Pyramid tour takes you to the majestic event when Djoser stood at that spot you stand in with the accompaniment of “Imhotep,” who was the minister to King Djoser, ordering him to build a great Pharaonic royal tomb that would replace the tomb of the Mastaba, which was built at a height of one step from the ground.

While you walk some inches away from the Step Pyramid, you will meet Saqqara’s necropolis. They are Mastaba tombs, where the bodies of great kings from the 1st and 2nd dynasties were buried.

At that time, Golavita’s Egyptologist will narrate for you each event done at each inch in the Saqqara Pyramid. You feel as if the history running in front of you and the pharaohs come alive again. You will realize the development of the tombs once you return to the Djoser Step Pyramid.

Events will come to life in front of you when Imhotep decides to select a building material to live with time, which resulted in the construction of the first large-scale cut-stone structure in the world, the Saqqara Step Pyramid.

It is a great experience to live when entering the Pyramid from the inside. Wander amid its dazzling corridors and the royal room.

“With Golavita, visiting the Saqqara Pyramid will be unique. You will live the history as if you were on a date with the pharaohs, not just visiting the Pyramid.”
