Keep a little mystery in your trip planning: Explorer Picture Mode shows a stylized version of every place instead of the real photo, so you can go by the description and reviews first and picture it your own way -- reveal the real photo any time by flipping the switch off, or just for one place at a time from its own page.

Saqqara (or Saqqara or Sakkarah, Arabic: سقارة [saqâra]) is a vast necropolis in the Memphis region. It has been occupied continuously throughout the history of ancient Egypt, and as a result, royal tombs and smaller burials are found side by side, providing numerous testimonies of daily life in ancient Egypt.
The Saqqara Plateau lies South of Cairo, in the center of the Memphis necropolis, which stretches for almost twenty kilometers. The complex, situated on the edge of the desert (the world of death) bears witness to a desire to defy time.
