Settle back into the plush seats as your private expert Egyptologist guide introduces you to the early dynastic transitions of the Old Kingdom.

  • 09:15 AM – Unveiling humanity's Oldest Stone Structure at Saqqara Arrive at the vast desert necropolis of Saqqara. Stand in pure awe before the Step Pyramid of King Djoser, world-renowned as the first successful large-scale stone building ever constructed in human history, designed by the legendary high priest Imhotep.
