In the game
The step pyramid and its walled funerary complex are a bandit-occupied ruin with an explorable tomb.
The real place
Designed by Imhotep for Djoser around 2650 BCE, it is the earliest large cut-stone building in Egypt. It reopened in 2020 after a 14-year restoration.
Visiting
Entry to the inner chambers costs extra on top of the Saqqara site ticket. Bring water, as there is little shade.
