What To Expect
Saqqara (Sakkara) Pyramids
First, Pick Up from Requested Location by your Tour guide to start your Journey across the three ancient necropolises. The tour will start by visiting the Saqqara necropolis, where you will visit the Pyramid of Djoser. This pyramid is the earliest colossal stone building in the world. This structure is a fundamental part of the Egyptian history as other pyramids was based on it with improvements. The pyramids at Giza and elsewhere in the desert near Cairo are a part of the legacy of an older city and civilization that fell into decline long before Cairo was founded. This civilization named this area Memphis, which was the seat of power to the Old Kingdom (2686—2181 BC) of Ancient Egypt, home to the pharaohs that raised the pyramids.
Saqqara is one of several other notable necropolis sites near Cairo that offer impressive sights and hold great archaeological significance. In fact, Saqqara may hold more interest to archaeologists than Giza. The huge site hosts burials dating from before the beginning of the Old Kingdom up through the Greek Period of Egyptian history. The most famous structure by far at Saqqara is Djoser’s Step Pyramid. Dating from the 3rd dynasty (2667—2448 BC), it was the first all-stone complex ever built on earth. It also displays an important architectural innovation for the construction of the Giza Pyramids and other later pyramids in the 4th dynasty and later. Djoser’s pyramid was the first to use multiple mastabas (rectangular tomb structures) stacked on top of one another to form a step pyramid.This construction set the stage for the smooth sides of the Giza Pyramids and the smaller 5th and 6th dynasty pyramids that are found at Saqqara and other sites nearby, such as Dahshur and Abu Sir.

5.00We met Aly when he guided us through the Ancient Egyptian Museum. We immediately realized he was a man with a vast knowledge of ancient Egypt. He told his stories in a captivating and structured way, and he also had a keen eye for detail and a great sense of humor. So when he suggested we explore Saqqara, Dashur, and Memphis together, we didn't hesitate. Besides the aforementioned qualities, Aly is also a man who listens to what his clients want. This allowed us to enjoy places rarely visited by tourists—the silence of the desert, the splendor of the temples—while avoiding the tourist traps. Now, several days later, I still fondly remember our day trip, where we not only learned so much about ancient Egypt but also discovered so much beauty. It was a truly rewarding day. On another day, Aly guided us through the GEM, and that experience was also very positive. The selection at GEM is so extensive that you practically need a guide to show you around and help you make choices with engaging stories. We also had plenty of time to explore the museum on our own. Again a wonderful experience.

5.00We hired our guide Aly for two days to go to the pyramids of Gize, the GEM and Saqqara, Memphis and Djoser. What an experience. Aly, our guide was a basket full of wisdom, humour and knowledge. He brought us to places where normal tourist buses won't go. We had two unique days with him. When you're in Cairo and you don't like tourist traps, well than Aly is your perfect guide because he let you see the pure beauty of this historic places.

5.00Our trip to Egypt was amazing. The history is mind blowing! However the trip would not have been the same if it wasn't for Aly. He explained the history to us and even was able to talk in a way the children were engaged the whole time. His tour was structured well and also gave us the flexibility to stop longer in places if we wanted too. He adapted to our needs and made everything perfect!
