Upon having your driver drop you off at the entrance to Saqqara and showing your entrance ticket to a mostly disinterested guard at the edge of the parking lot, you will be confronted with a group of men waiting to tour you around the Saqqara complex for what ends up being an outrageous amount of baksheesh, up to 100 Egyptian pounds for showing you the stairway up the entryway; do not mind them no matter how aggressive they are and head into the entryway to the colonnade and tour around at your pace
