Fantastic - We visited Saqqara as part of a day tour along with visiting the Pyramids of Giza, Dahshur and the open air museum in Memphis. This simply cannot be missed. The Step Pyramid of Djoser is nothing spectacular as compared to the Pyramids of Giza, true, but would you not want to have a look at the first known structure built by humans? The open air museum that houses the colossal statue of Ramesses II is, ImHO, a must-do. It's an easy trip from Giza, about 40 min drive and doesn't take more than 30 min (you can of course, spend more time looking at the other exhibits outside). The structure is in ruins - a standing statue of Ramesses II, broken at the thighs owing to a fall during an earthquake. It fell on it's left side, completely damaging it but thankfully most of the remaining figure is in great condition.. The face is sculpted so beautifully, you just want to keep looking at it. All made from a single piece of rock! We did not visit the Bent Pyramid up close but only saw it from a distance. The odd-shaped pyramid still has the outside smooth limestone casing which is missing from the Pyramids of Giza. We took the opportunity to visit the inside of the red pyramid and it was a real adventure. This activity is not recommended for claustrophobic people and people who are not comfortable with walking in tiny spaces scrunched up to a third of their height.We were in and out in about 20 min but it is an experience that I'd recommend. How many times do we get to go inside a structure built 3500 years ago? We visited these places as a part of a day trip with Sun Pyramids, alongwith visiting the Pyramids of Giza. It's a very easy tour to do in a day, if you can start a bit early to the Pyramids. The above mentioned sites are just a hour's drive away from Giza, but totally recommended for a visit.

Solo traveler in Cairo - I booked through my hotel and they provided me with the very informative tour guide, Ms. Dalia Mahmoud. You will surely get a good history lesson on all the tours you take with her. Also, thank you to the driver, Mr. Adel from Great Pyramid Inn who drove us to all the tours that I had on that day. He is truly a very substantial driver. He made sure we were safe on the roads. It was definitely a trip of a lifetime!
