Saqqara is the vast necropolis of ancient Memphis, about 30 km south of central Cairo on the west bank of the Nile. From the airport the drive of roughly 50 km follows the Ring Road to the Giza side and then turns south along the Saqqara road, which runs between irrigation canals, palm groves and villages before climbing to the desert edge. The rural section is narrow and shared with farm traffic, so it is slower than the Ring Road part of the journey.
The site is dominated by the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the oldest large stone building in Egypt, with the Imhotep Museum by the entrance and the Serapeum and the Pyramid of Teti further on. The ruins of Memphis with the open-air museum at Mit Rahina lie a few kilometres east, and the Bent and Red Pyramids of Dahshur about 10 km to the south, so the three are often visited together. Cars can drive from the ticket office to parking areas near the main monuments. There is little shade, and the desert is very hot from May to September.
Public transport: There is no public transport from the airport to Saqqara is; the archaeological site lies outside the city among farming villages.
