The oldest pyramid in Egypt is OPEN for tour!! The intriguing Step Pyramid of King Djoser was built 4,700 years ago. It started off as a mastaba tomb — a flat-roofed structure with sloping sides — and, through a series of expansions, evolved into a 197-foot-high pyramid, with six layers, one built on top of the other. The pyramid was constructed using 11.6 million cubic feet of stone and clay. The tunnels beneath the pyramid form a labyrinth about 3.5 miles long.

What a privilege to add this experience to our Egyptian Journey's itinerary.
