开罗
萨卡拉、孟菲斯与代赫舒尔一日游
第一座金字塔、第一座真正的金字塔和第一座都城,没有吉萨的人潮。

第一座金字塔、第一座真正的金字塔和第一座都城,位于吉萨以南 30 公里。
萨卡拉是古王国都城孟菲斯的墓地,有左塞尔阶梯金字塔(约公元前 2670 年),世界上第一座大型石砌建筑;代赫舒尔有斯尼夫鲁的弯曲金字塔和红色金字塔(约公元前 2600 年),最早的真正金字塔,红色金字塔可以进入。开罗出发的导览一日游含午餐 7 小时,或从赫尔格达乘大巴的长途一日。
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.
最佳时间: 十月至四月;全年上午均可。
