The Saqqara Pyramid pyramid is one of the most important and famous tourist attractions in Egypt and it is the oldest pyramids that were built in ancient Egypt.
Saqqara Pyramid is located in the village of Badrashin, Giza Governorate, specifically in the Saqqara region. The pyramid of Djoser was built between 2737 – 2717 BC by the royal architect Imhotep. The purpose behind the construction was to allocate a necropolis to bury the Egyptian nobles, but its discovery was during 1837 by researcher John Bering.
The most important characteristic of the Saqqara pyramid is its stepped shape, which distinguishes it from the rest of the pyramids of Giza knowledge, and for this reason it has been called the step pyramid by some researchers.
