Saving Egypts Oldest Pyramid by National Geographic Channel
The Step Pyramid of Saqqara, in the desert south of Cairo, is a keystone in the history of civilization. But it is falling apart, ravaged by looters, earthquakes and the erosive force of 4600 years of time. For five years, a team of British and Egyptian experts have been urgently at work to rescue this prototype for all the Egyptian pyramids.......
Pyramid of Djoser in Sakkara & the Pyramids of Giza in Cairo
Pyramid of Djoser, Sakkara and The Pyramids, Giza, Cairo, Egypt - The pyramids of Giza were placed as one of the seven wonders of the world and which was mainly because of the largest pyramid, Khufu, and it is still among the list until today.
The Pyramids of Giza were built in Egypt during the era of the Pharaohs to serve as tombs for the Pharaohs kings and their queens. Even though the most famously known ones are the three pyramids of Giza which are visited by tourists from all over the world, it was found in 2008 that there are more than 100 pyramids found all over Egypt and which were all used for the same purpose.
Although the three famous pyramids of Giza are considered the most famously known, the pyramid of Djoser was actually the earliest one to be found and which was built in the third dynasty, now found on the land of Sakkara, which is also spelled as Saqqara, and which is the land that features numerous pyramids.
After the Pyramid of Djoser was built, the three other larger ones which are more known came out to the world. These three huge pyramids are known as: Khufu, which is the biggest one and which is also referred to as the Great Pyramid and is known as Cheops. Khafra, which is the second largest pyramid and was built for Khufu's son, also known as Chephren, and what distinguishes this pyramid from the others is the Sphinx that guards it. Menkaure, which is the last pyramid built and which is known as Mycerinus.
The Great Pyramids of Giza, Cairo, Egypt, are not just listed as one of the seven wonders of the world, but they are also the first thing tourists want to see when their feet touch the Egyptian ground, and we should agree with such a thing because all the videos and pictures we see are still not the same as what we see in real while standing in front of those huge pyramids (
The shape of the pyramid did not come to the Pharaohs by luck but they intended to create that shape for their dead bodies and this is believed to go back for different reasons, such as believing that the pyramids represented the rays of the sun as well as giving the dead Pharaoh the chance to symbolically climb to the sky and live forever through the sloping sides of the pyramid.
The stories behind the way the Pharaohs used to think and thus build their tombs is another reason why these are considered among the seven wonders of the world. You should get to see the place in addition to reading about it; its a must!
The entrance fee for the pyramids is 80 Egyptian pounds for foreigners and this will allow you to see the pyramids and the sphinx, but if you are willing to enter Khufu pyramid from the inside, you will pay 100 Egyptian pounds in total. Getting inside there might be an experience but you will have to enter with your back bent and get inside to find nothing but an empty tomb.
Pyramids of Giza are open all days of the week and you are only allowed to go there in the day light. Sometimes there are some parties and events hosted there with the lighting of the pyramids that give the whole thing a different experience.
Among the general tips which we would like to advice you with regarding your visit to the pyramids: there are no restrooms found after the first entrance, so don't postpone it because you might find yourself lost inside. Always wear light clothes and have a cap with you because the weather in summer is always hot and you will sweat a lot, if you are visiting in winter then you will be already dressed in heavy clothes. Always make sure to have your water with you because you will definitely need that. Whenever you think about buying anything from the souvenir men, try to bargain because it will work and they will reduce the price for you if you showed them that you are not interested.
Egypt is filled with historic places that you would enjoy visiting and in addition to the great pyramids of Giza, you could also visit Cairo citadel ( which is also known as Salah El Din Citadel, you could visit the Egyptian Museum ( you could go to the old street of El Moez ( and get across Khan El Khalili market ( and you could search for a lot of other options that will give you loads of information about Egypt.
There are a lot of things to see in Cairo, Egypt, that you will never get the chance to sit free for one day, because every time you search, you will land on a new thing to discover and you might be even the one to make the propaganda for it.
Egypt is one of the countries that carries a lot of history and one which should always go on the list of countries that one have to visit during his/her lifetime, because all the things related to the Pharaohs make it unbelievable to even think about the way these ancient people used to live and work, and the lifestyle they had.

The Pyramids Of Sakkara Including The Step Pyramid
Sakkara (sometimes called Saqqara) is one of the most extensive archaeological sites in all of Egypt! It was the primary cemetery of the former capital of Egypt, Memphis, yet it is still one of the most unexplored archaeological sites, despite the amazing finds that have already been discovered? What else may be hidden among the site?
The site's most major feature is the Step Pyramid of King Zoser, which dates back to 2700 BC. It is one of the oldest stone structures in the world!

Inside Pharaoh Teti’s tomb near Egypt Sakkara’s step pyramid
This is a collapsed pyramid to Ti’s tomb. Excellent hieroglyphics and an easy in/out. It’s much better than the great pyramid of Giza and also much easier to navigate. Absolutely visit the Great Pyramids but don’t go in them. This one is much better inside!

Saqqara - Step pyramid of Djoser - Tips before you go
Saqqara, also spelled Sakkara or Saccara in English, is a vast, ancient burial ground in Egypt, serving as the necropolis for the Ancient Egyptian capital, Memphis.[1] Saqqara features numerous pyramids, including the world-famous Step pyramid of Djoser, sometimes referred to as the Step Tomb due to its rectangular base, as well as a number of mastabas (Arabic word meaning 'bench'). Located some 30 km (19 mi) south of modern-day Cairo, Saqqara covers an area of around 7 by 1.5 km (4.35 by 0.93 mi).
At Saqqara, the oldest complete stone building complex known in history was built: Djoser's step pyramid, built during the Third Dynasty.
