Saqqara & Memphis in Cairo — FAQ
What is there to see at Saqqara?
Saqqara is dominated by the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the oldest stone pyramid, alongside richly decorated tombs and the Serapeum. It is about 40 minutes south of Cairo and often combined with Memphis and Dahshur.
Is Saqqara worth visiting as well as Giza?
Yes — Saqqara and Dahshur show how pyramid-building evolved before Giza, and they are far quieter. A combined tour covers the full story of ancient Egypt in one day.
How far is Saqqara from the Giza Pyramids?
Saqqara is about 30 minutes south of the Giza plateau, which is why many full-day tours visit Giza, Saqqara and Memphis together with transport included.
