Návštěva

Imhotep built Djoser's pyramid as six mastabas stacked on each other inside a walled enclosure the size of a town, with a colonnade of forty columns, a courtyard for the king's jubilee race and dummy chapels carved to imitate reed buildings in stone. It is where the idea of the pyramid began, and where Egyptian architecture became stone.

The noble tombs around it, Ti, Kagemni and Mereruka, are painted with the daily life of the Old Kingdom: fishing, hunting hippos, brewing beer, feasting. The pyramid of Teti, when open, has the Pyramid Texts carved in its chamber. The Serapeum, the underground galleries of the Apis bulls, is an optional extra.

Dahshur, 10 km south, is where Sneferu learned to build a true pyramid. The Bent Pyramid changes angle halfway up after the first attempt cracked; the Red Pyramid next to it got the angle right and is the model for Giza. Its descending passage and three corbelled chambers are included on our tour. Memphis itself is fields and palms now; its open-air museum keeps the 10 m colossus of Ramses II.

Tipy našich průvodců

  • Saqqara is exposed; go early and carry water
  • The Red Pyramid interior is easier than Khufu's and rarely crowded
  • Combine with Giza only if you have a 10-hour day; otherwise take two days

Nejlepší doba: Říjen až duben; celoročně dopoledne.

Otázky

Yes. Giza has the size; Saqqara has the origin of the pyramid, the painted tombs and far fewer visitors. Most of our repeat guests rate it their favourite day in Cairo.
