Saqarra is home to the oldest pyramid that’s ever been discovered, the step pyramid of Saqqara. Apparently many people skip this portion of Egypt which, I would not recommend. The highlight here for me was being able to still see paint on the walls inside the tombs.
The hydrophilics here are are insanely awesome. It provides the perfect opportunity for my guide to explain the basics of how to read them and how they flowed throughout the tombs into the main chambers. It’s really cool to start to piece together some of the patterns and meanings and it’s very easy to see how one would get swept up in the whole study of it.
