Saqqara Pyramids

Today we took a tour of the Saqqara Pyramids. We went bus to the site where we started our guided tour of the complex, presented in both Arabic and English.

The Saqqara Pyramid site is definitely an impressive location. We enjoyed visiting all of the tomb sites that were open today, learning about the meaning of the different heiroglyphs, learning to recognize the different rulers and their cartouches, and learning some new Arabic
vocabulary along the way.
