Sakkara Tours & Private Guided Trips

Embarking on one of our bespoke Sakkara Tours offers travelers an intimate glimpse into the very cradle of pyramid building. As a vast, ancient burial ground that served the capital of Memphis, Sakkara features a stunning array of mastabas and temples that predate the Giza plateau. Our curated Sakkara Tours are designed for those who appreciate the quiet majesty of the desert and wish to explore the evolution of Egyptian royal burial traditions away from the typical tourist crowds.

The Fascinating History Behind our Sakkara Excursions

The narrative of our Sakkara excursions is centered around the revolutionary genius of Imhotep, the architect who designed the Step Pyramid for King Djoser. During your Sakkara tour, you will learn how this site transformed from a collection of simple mud-brick tombs into a complex of eternal stone monuments. History comes alive at Sakkara as our expert guides peel back the layers of the Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms, showcasing why this necropolis remained sacred for over 3,000 years.

Highlights: What to See During Your Sakkara Tour

The definitive highlight of any Sakkara tour is the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the world’s first large-scale stone structure. However, our comprehensive Sakkara Tours also venture into the exquisite tomb of Kagemni and the Pyramid of Teti, where the walls are inscribed with ancient magical spells. Many of our guests choose to enhance their itinerary by combining these sights with our high-end Cairo Tours, allowing for a seamless transition from the Step Pyramid to the Giza plateau in total luxury.
