Mostafa took me to another fascinating place today.
An extraordinary excursion to Saqqara.
Here you can see me sitting by the entry of the Step Pyramid of Djoser!
Saqqara was one of the main burial fields of the ancient city of Memphis,
capital of Ancient Egypt during the Old Kingdom.
It is located some 40 kilometres from Egypt’s modern day capital, Cairo.
On a clear day, its most prominent monument, the Step Pyramid of Djoser,
can be seen from Giza, which lies some 17 kilometres to the North,
and from Dashur, which lies 10 kilometres to the South.
