Egypt’s oldest pyramid in Saqqara was the spectacular venue for a pop-up Djoser exhibition in the desert outdoors. This is no tent with a few plastic chairs, but a fully equipped travelling museum with over 250 recently found ancient painted coffins on display and countless bronze artifacts. On Monday, Egyptian heritage officials opened the makeshift Djoser exhibition featuring a collection of stunning ancient Egyptian artifacts. The temporary exhibition is located at the feet of the famous 2,500-year-old Step Pyramid of Djoser, at the necropolis of Saqqara, 24 kilometers (15 miles) southwest of Cairo.
