The form of the pyramid can be explained as a development of the large mastabas (mud-brick tombs) of the First and Second Dynasties; the six steps, each smaller than the one below, having been produced by the addition to the original mastaba of successive new layers of masonry, accompanied by the enlargement of the lower stages.

The Step Pyramid stands 60 meters high and is built of locally quarried clay sandstone of poor quality. You can no longer enter the pyramid due to safety issues. The chambers and passages in the interior of the pyramid served partly for the burial of close relatives of the King (in particular those of his sons who died in childhood) and partly for storing grave-goods for the use of the dead

Egypt 🇪🇬 has been on my bucket list for a long time. And luckily I found Look at Egypt Tours. They took care of everything-tours, hotels, cruise , transportation! It was amazing. Visited Cairo, Nile cruise from Luxor to Edfu to Komombo to Aswan. Saw Pyramids, Temples, and Tombs. Rode camels and hot air balloons. Both of our tour guides were great hosts - Ahmed Farahat for all the sites in Cairo and Ayman Morgan for the sites along the Nile Cruise. We learned a ton and loved listening to their enthusiasm as they shared so much about the ancient Egyptian world. I’d definitely recommend Look at Egypt Tours!

We had so many concerns from family about travelling to Egypt- but we are so glad we made it , it is very safe. This trip has been absolutely amazing! It’s a beautiful country with so much to see and do. The accommodation and transport has been excellent! And our tour leaders and Tour guide were outstanding at his job and very friendly! I would highly recommend Look at Egypt Tours and this trip to everybody.

Look At Egypt Tours is an excellent company. Many people were involved and they were all friendly and all did their jobs perfectly. Our egyptologist on the cruise was amazingly knowledgeable and brought temple inscriptions and artwork to life for us. La Vacanza Travel should make it clear that the price stated on its website assumes double occupancy. We needed three separate rooms, which should have been three times the advertised price; but in fact there was a substantial addition required. I'm not objecting to the additional price; I am objecting (1) to the extra charge not being clear upfront and, most importantly (2) the stress caused by several days of not being sure that the need for three separate rooms was clearly communicated to Look At Egypt Tours. This is a problem that La Vacanza Travel should fix. As I said, once we got to Egypt we were with a company that is superbly organized and wonderfully staffed.

Our trip with Look at Egypt Tours was amazing from start to finish! Everything was super well organized, clearly communicated and very thoughtfully planned -- they really know what they are doing. For example, we were booked on a super early flight to Luxor from Cairo that required a 3:30am departure for the airport -- but the reward was getting to experience the awe-inspiring Temple of Karnak well ahead of both the heat of the day and the busloads of day trippers from Hurghada. We would never have known that on our own, and it was genius. Our guides were exceptional, full of expert knowledge and insider wisdom as well as being just great people to get to know and spend time with. Mohamed Salah in Cairo showed us the city as well as Giza, Saqqara and Memphis -- and we couldn't have asked for a better introduction to Egypt (not to mention finding us the most delicious felafel I've ever tasted!). Mohamed Farrag, with us from Luxor to Aswan, shared his knowledge and love of Egyptology in a way that made our visit vastly richer and deeper than we ever could have anticipated. Huge thanks to them both. In addition all the accommodations and arrangements were perfect -- we loved our hotel in Cairo, the Nile cruise boat was wonderful, and all of the drivers were very skillful (driving in Egypt is not for the faint of heart, and we truly appreciated their abilities!). I highly recommend Look at Egypt Tours, and can't thank them enough for making of visit safe, smooth and incredibly special -- truly the experience of a lifetime.

This experience is truly exceptional. We’ve had an excellent time with the company and their guides so far, we have 2 more days left but are really enjoying them. Our guides/ drivers have been excellent so far. Big thank you to Mahmoud, Remon, and Mustafa, they were exceptional and truly go above and beyond.
