Programme status
The experiences below belong to this journey, but their operating order is confirmed for the requested date before publication as a fixed sequence.
Saqqara preserves more than three millennia of funerary architecture and is central to understanding how Egyptian royal tomb building developed. The Step Pyramid complex of Djoser is one part of a much larger archaeological landscape.
Memphis was one of ancient Egypt’s principal political and religious centres, positioned near the apex of the Nile Delta. Surviving remains help connect the nearby pyramid fields to the city they served.
Dahshur is crucial to the development of pyramid architecture, especially through the Bent Pyramid and Red Pyramid associated with Sneferu. Its open desert setting makes changes in royal pyramid design easier to read.
