2025 Egypt – Day 4 – Saqqara

Egypt’s Timeless Necropolis of Innovation and Majesty

Just 30 kilometers south of Cairo lies one of the most significant and enigmatic archaeological sites in the world: Saqqara. Often overshadowed by the nearby Pyramids of Giza, Saqqara is in fact older, more complex, and arguably even more fascinating. It is a vast ancient necropolis that served as the principal burial ground for the ancient capital, Memphis, and it continues to yield extraordinary discoveries that reshape our understanding of early Egyptian civilization.

2025 Egypt – Day 2 – Cairo

The Giza Pyramids – Eternal Symbols of Ancient Egypt

The Pyramids of Giza stand as timeless monuments to ancient Egypt’s engineering, religion, and royal power. Located on the western edge of modern-day Giza, a bustling city now integrated into Greater Cairo, these ancient structures rest on the edge of the Sahara Desert, rising dramatically above the fertile Nile Valley below.

Together with the Great Sphinx, nearby tombs, temples, and subsidiary pyramids, the Giza Plateau forms one of the most iconic and historically significant archaeological sites in the world. It is a place where millennia-old stone speaks of forgotten kings, celestial alignments, and architectural ambition on a scale the world had never seen before.
