Beautiful and historical place. Have the option to pay less if you are a student. is a big place to explore so is better enter and do all the route inside the park with the car.
just be careful with the people who stay in front of the atractions and offer to explain because in the end they will ask to you pay( in Euro or dollar), easier to say that prefere to do alone

The Saqqara Pyramids are a must-see if you’re interested in ancient Egyptian history. Less crowded than Giza, this site offers a more peaceful experience with incredible ruins and a deep sense of history. The Step Pyramid of Djoser is fascinating to see up close – it’s actually older than the Great Pyramid! The surrounding tombs and structures are also worth exploring, with beautiful carvings and impressive architecture. Be sure to bring water and wear comfortable shoes. A local guide really helps bring the place to life.

Fascinating complex with lots to see. Was especially impressed by the Step Pyramid and the Pyramid of King Unas. Well worth a trip for any fan of Egyptian history.

Way better than Giza pyramids complex. You still have to see Sphinx and the Great pyramids but you will be annoyed by all the camel guys and "guides" which will definitely try to rip you off. This place is so calm and not crowded, definitely recommended!

Giza gets all the attention Saqqara less so. The government is pouring a lot more effort in building up the tourism potential.
The steps pyramid are the initial attempt to build the pyramids. This is where they started , by trial and error, how to build the massive structure that can endure.

Fascinating visit, only marred by being pestered for money by those worked there, others just loitering by the tombs or sadly, by little girls while their mothers looked on. Bring plenty of water and ignore the beggars. It was very hot, even at Easter.

I love this place. Big. Lots to explore. Use guide or private car as u cant go to this place with ur own using public transportation. Go enter the inside of the pyramids. Highly recommended to visit this place.
