The photo shows the Pyramid of Djoser (a.k.a. Zoser), in Sakkara (a.k.a. Saqqara), Egypt. This pyramid is commonly known as the stepped pyramid (a.k.a. step pyramid). I've heard that this is the oldest Egyptian pyramid. I hired a driver and went there from Cairo by a car to see this very interesting pyramid. Compare to the Great Pyramid of Giza, the stepped pyramid is a bit smaller, but I'd say the shape is more eye-catching. I was just impressed that ancient Egyptian people made this like huge beautiful pyramid many moons ago.
