The Egyptian pyramids and ruins near Sakkara are from the Old Kingdom; the step pyramid was built before the smooth sided ones. There are several tombs with beautiful paintings. There are many .excavations in progress. One can ride around to them on horses or camels, although they are not normally open to the public. Nearby are the pyramids of Abu Sir and Dashour. At Dashour, you may climb down into the Bent Pyramid and Red Pyramid. Each of these sites is an easy car ride away from Saqqara, or a longish horse or camel ride, which can certainly be arranged.
