Cairo, Egypt: Saqqara Necropolis and Muhammad Ali Mosque
12-22-2025 - still in progress, but here are some highlights. We visited the Saqqara Step Pyramid Complex this morning. Imhotep designed the first pyramid for King Djoser who ruled Egypt in 2667 to 2648 BC during the 3rd Dynasty. This innovation became the inspiration for the other pyramids that became the iconic resting places for the pharaohs of the Old Kingdom of Egypt. Its six steps are six mastabas stacked on top of each other, each a little smaller that the one below it
