This is the tomb of Djoser, who founded the Old Kingdom of Egypt and was the first pharaoh of the Third Dynasty. It is known as the first pyramid-style tomb. Now there is a step pyramid and some buildings, but in the past there were numerous buildings surrounding the pyramid. It is said that Vizier Imhotep, the only person other than the pharaoh to be deified, supervised the construction of this pyramid. It is even said that it is likely that Imhotep was the one who invented the step pyramid.

As current evidence we have, this archaeological site has the oldest pyramid we know—the Step Pyramid of Djoser. We went down underneath this structure along the passage which it was spacious. We could walk comfortably compared to some other pyramids.

I recently visited the Pyramid of Djoser and had an amazing experience! The site is truly a marvel, showcasing some of the earliest monumental stone architecture in history. The intricate step design and the vast Saqqara necropolis make it a must-see for anyone interested in ancient history and architecture. I highly recommend visiting in January. The weather is much cooler, making it more comfortable to explore the site. Plus, it's less crowded during this time, allowing for a more relaxed and enjoyable visit. The guides are knowledgeable and provide fascinating insights into the history and significance of the pyramid. Overall, the Pyramid of Djoser is a remarkable place to visit and a highlight of any trip to Egypt! Don't miss the chance to see this ancient wonder up close.

Read its history before or while visiting. It's the first pyramid, built as 4 layers, then enlarged 2 or 3 times and got it's current shape. Imhotep designed it, and there is a museum before coming to area, check there and watch the video to learn about the history. Then it won't be just a visual experience, but also you will understand the culture.

The Step Pyramid of Djoser - Egypt's first pyramid, this pyramid is part of a larger complex of buildings, making it worth visiting to understand the history of the pyramids. The complex is vast, and seeing the Step Pyramid—a precursor to the more familiar pyramids—was amazing. The most interesting part was the colorful hieroglyphs on the walls, which our guide interpreted for us. Using color in writing during such ancient times was very impressive. Egyptian civilization truly was very advanced.
