These drawings show us the king's trip to the sky after death, and other ones represent his return to being one of the gods.  

The Idot Tomb Stop: Immerse Yourself in the details of the daily life of the pharaohs

Move to the Idot tomb, one of the most beautiful tombs, which includes drawings representing the daily life of ancient Egypt. The top outstanding scenes of hunting from ancient Egypt are located inside this tomb, where peasants returning from farmland and offerings are found.

The lotus flower is the dominant feature of the cemetery, and therefore it is one of the most beautiful areas for spiritual energy.

The Saqqara Pyramid Complex Stop: It is where limestone was used for the first time  for building in human history instead of mud brick by the genius engineer Imhotep

Immerse yourself in where the Heb-Sed or the Feast of the Tail, was celebrated in the Heb-Sed festival hall every 30 years, and then every 4 years, the ancient Egyptians performed a medical examination to the king to ensure his eligibility to rule Egypt.

Climb down 28 meters and arrive at the southern tomb, which is in the pyramid itself and includes a Pharaonic sarcophagus and other rooms that represent what is included completely inside the Giza Pyramids; this tomb has an extra fee. 

Reach the basement where the statue of King Djoser was found with two holes in front of the eyes to look at the northern stars so that the soul may return to him from time to time and visit him.

Go ahead to the Bent Pyramid, and let your tour guide narrate for you the mysteries of this first smooth pyramid and the second pyramid in history after the Step Pyramid of Djoser; explore if that is right since the pyramid was built in a wrong way and that is why Senfru built another one or not!
