Tour Overview
Step pyramid, nobles’ tombs when open, and the colossus garden at Memphis — no Giza. This itinerary is "Saqqara and Memphis". Named stops: Djoser step pyramid, Saqqara tombs as available, Memphis open-air museum.
For a second Cairo day after you have already done the postcard pyramids.
Saqqara is the older experiment: Djoser’s step pyramid, where cut stone architecture begins. Memphis is the old capital laid out on the ground: the fallen colossus of Ramses and an open-air garden of statues.
