Unearthing the Past: A Saqqara Private Tour into Egypt’s Forgotten Treasures

When most people think of Egypt, their minds leap to the Pyramids of Giza or the mighty Sphinx. But tucked just outside Cairo lies a lesser-known treasure—Saqqara, the sprawling necropolis that cradled Egypt’s earliest pyramids and preserved a forgotten world of innovation, spirituality, and royal legacy.

On a Saqqara private tour, you’ll step away from the crowds and into a quieter, more profound experience—one that many of our travelers say becomes the highlight of their Egypt package tours.

🏛 What Awaits You in Saqqara?

Saqqara is most famous for the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the first pyramid ever built in Egypt—predating even the Pyramids of Giza. But beyond that iconic structure, the site holds burial chambers, painted tombs, hidden corridors, and newly discovered treasures still being uncovered today.

Your journey here can be as in-depth or as breezy as you want. That’s the beauty of our Tailor Made Tours—designed around your interests, not just a set itinerary.

✨ VIP Access to a World of Secrets

On our VIP Access Saqqara tours, you won’t just visit the highlights. You’ll gain exclusive insight into the latest archaeological finds, have time to absorb the artistry of the tombs, and explore less-frequented sites like the Tomb of Mehu, the Serapeum, or the Pyramid of Unas with your expert Egyptologist guide.

Because of the flexible nature of our Tailor Made Tours, you can pair Saqqara with a day tour to nearby Dahshur (home to the Bent and Red Pyramids) or even combine it with Cairo’s Islamic or Coptic landmarks as part of our Top Cities itineraries.

🌍 Saqqara: A Must-Visit on Your Egypt Trip

Many travelers rush through the major sites, but those who choose a private tour of Saqqara often say it was the most atmospheric and surprising part of their entire Egypt trip.

That’s why we frequently recommend Saqqara in our package tours and day tours—especially for those seeking a deeper connection with ancient Egypt.

It’s not just about seeing old stones. It’s about understanding the evolution of Egyptian architecture, beliefs, and royal rituals from their earliest moments.

📅 Custom Trips, Thoughtful Travel

Whether you’re planning a full Egypt adventure or looking for a meaningful day tour from Cairo, Saqqara fits perfectly. Our tailor-made tours allow you to customize your experience—whether you're a history enthusiast, a photographer, or a traveler who simply wants to avoid the tourist trail.

Are you seeking to explore several prominent Egyptian cities such as Luxor, Aswan, or Alexandria? Saqqara is the perfect off-the-beaten-path start to your journey.
