Just south of Cario on a very interesting drive...interesting to see the progression in them getting the design finally right with the three located up in Cairo. Make sure to have a hat, sunscreen and water

We visited the area after seeing the Pyramids at Giza and we were impressed by all that Saqqara had to offer. The Imhotep Museum was very interesting and informative. The tombs and pyramid itself were striking. The pyramid itself was undergoing restoration so we were unable to go inside but the scaffolding that was on the outside looked great! It... More
