Overview
The amazing aspect of the Saqqara Necropolis is that it continues to astound Egyptologists and the public by the new discoveries that are made continuously. Saqqara has been, and is, the most active excavation site in the world. And from the perspective of being rich in what it reveals about Ancient Egypt, Saqqara also has some of the largest animal cemeteries in the world.
What Serapeum Is All About?
The Serapeum of Saqqara is located northwest of the Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara. It was a burial place of the Apis, sacred bulls, that were incarnations of Ptah. It was believed that the bulls became immortal after death as Osiris-Apis. Apis was a god originally associated with fertility, and later connected with the god Ptah.
As the cult gained importance, underground galleries were dug that connected burial chambers. Above ground, the main temple enclosure was supplemented by shrines, workshops, housing and administrative quarters. In other words, there were buildings, not dissimilar to those found around a pharaoh’s tombs, which signified the importance of animals to the ancient Egyptians and cult worship.
Many other animals were mummified and buried in other cemeteries around Saqqara. Sometimes this was as beloved pets, sometimes as food offerings to the deceased, but primarily for religious purposes and dedicated to specific gods. Other animal cemeteries at Saqqara include cats, dogs, jackals, ibis and baboons. All of these identified to specific Egyptian Gods

Visiting A Camel Market
Domesticated camels only became a part of Egypt after the Arab conquest around 200 AD as part of trade caravans from the Arabian Peninsula. Their association with ancient Egypt probably arises from the fact that camels were a part of life in North Africa. And the closeness of Egypt to these regions contributed to the perception that camels were a part of Egyptian life. Camels linked the trade and travel across the region and of course Egypt’s links to neighbouring economies. It was only in the Greco-Roman era that camels become a part of Egyptian society.

Perfume and Pastry Tour in Cairo
Five thousand years have transpired since the ancient Egyptians first produced perfume. Hieroglyphics found in Egyptian tombs dating from 3000BC verify that Egyptian priests were the earliest perfumers. And in ancient Egyptian mythology, Nefertem was the god of each morning’s creation and the god of perfumes and aromatics. Perfumes were associated with mystical functions and served as a gift from and to the Gods. Natural ingredients such as myrrh, frankincense, and cinnamon, were used to create unique fragrances. Perfumes became an important part of Egyptian life and were used by men and women.

Dahabiya Cruising & Village Visits
A Dahabiya is a traditional two-masted sailing boat. And in Arabic it is translated as ‘a golden one’. These vessels were common in Egypt in the early part of the 19th century up until the 1870’s and were used by people for travelling and also by the Egyptian monarchy and elites for their socialising. In those days they were considered to be the first class method for travelling. Today they still represent a great way for getting around, albeit at a leisurely pace and the way to see the real Egypt. On our excursions to our communities, your Dahabiya can draw into beaches and landing places close to the villages you are visiting. It can anchor at any location along the river. This gives more options for impromptu stops and activities like lunch on the beach, swimming and other adventures. Every step of the way our guides are with you.

In a Pharoah’s Footsteps (6 Days)
This tour takes gives you an entire history and experience in seeing how the pyramids design and structure changed and developed and how one man built 3 pyramids. By any analysis of the facts, the Pharoah Sneferu would have to be considered one of the most outstanding figures in the history of Egypt and the world. A recognition of his intellect, design and planning skills and as an innovator par excellence. Building three pyramids during his life (the 4th Dynasty 2,600 BC) would by itself, place him on a scale of achievement that only a handful of people in the world have ever attained. The pyramids that he created, at Meidum and Dahshur and which ultimately led to the construction of the Giza pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure has resulted in a legacy that has lasted 4,500 years. And yet, not many people realise that it was the skills and leadership of Sneferu and the knowledge that he acquired which led him to achieve his vision and for his family to enshrine his legacy.
