This gallery contains pictures of the two main sites usually visited together on a day trip south of Cairo - Saqqara with the famous Step Pyramid, a huge necropolis with many tombs and other pyramids and Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt now will an open air museum with the alabaster sphinx and the huge partial statue of Ramasses 11.
Saqqara Two Brothers Tomb 6880EG07JHP Tomb Two Brothers Recently Under Unas Causeway Saqqara Egypt Excavation as this photo illustrates from the Pyramid of Unas to his Valley Temple down the escarpment and adjacent to the entrance to the necropolis at Saqqara. An £LE20 extra at the ticket office on arrival at the main entry point for the Step Pyramid complex. It was worth the effort as the custodian who took me to this interesting recently discovered tomb and was also very knowledgeable about the whole site. Saqqara has a new ticket office and excellent modern museum which did allow non-flash photography.
