Our guided tour of Saqqara included the Step Pyramid and a chance to see ancient hieroglyphics up close in the surrounding tombs. While we skipped the tunnels beneath the pyramid, the experience was still unforgettable.

Exploring the Step Pyramid

We booked a guided tour to Saqqarra where we visited the Step Pyramid. At the complex surrounding the pyramid our guide got us free access to a tour of the tombs and we saw our first heiroglyphics in person. It was a short tour, but amazing nonetheless.

While our guide was informative about lots of things, we felt like we missed out on seeing more, like going underneath the Stepped pyramid and exploring the tunnels within. They said it wasn't that great and told us to skip it.
