About this tour

Overview
This isn’t just Egypt’s oldest necropolis — this is where ancient architecture,
theology, and the soul’s journey were first engraved in stone.
Step into Saqqara, the sacred landscape that predates Giza and holds the
deepest roots of Egyptian cosmology. With your own expert Egyptologist,
you’ll journey through towering monuments and hidden tombs — including the
Tomb of Wahti, a masterpiece of color and intimacy; the Serapeum, with its
gigantic sarcophagi for sacred Apis bulls; and the Pyramid of Unas, where the
earliest afterlife texts were born.
This LokalWalkers experience blends immersive archaeology, private access, and
real-time interpretation. It’s crafted for those who crave truth beneath the
tourist trail — where gods were once entombed, and ideas about eternity were
first written.
