The Step Pyramid, also known as Djoser’s Pyramid, is part of the Saqqara Pyramid complex
Subsequent pharaohs modeled their tombs based on its shape and construction techniques
The tomb of the general next to the pyramid contains exquisite ancient Egyptian murals that can be visited
As the prototype of the Egyptian pyramids, this pyramid is one of the more famous and well-preserved structures in the Saqqara complex, built around the 27th century BCE
It is the tomb of Pharaoh Djoser of the Third Dynasty of ancient Egypt
Although it is not a regular triangular body, it has an initial scale and a distinct six-tiered step structure on the outside, with a height of about 62 meters
The pyramid initially started as a simple stone chamber tomb and was later built up layer by layer into its current form, showing a lot of wear and tear due to erosion
Open all year round from 8:00 to 17:00
In addition to the Step Pyramid, there are other rock-cut tombs in Saqqara worth visiting, such as the nearby Pyramid of Teti
