The pyramid, a World Heritage Site recognised by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), was constructed 4,700 years ago during the era of Pharaoh Djoser, one of ancient Egypt's Third Dynasty kings.

After the pyramid faced decades of neglect and the risk of collapse, the Egyptian government started an ambitious project to restore the structure, also known as the Step Pyramid, to splendour in 2006.

"We completed the restoration ... of the first and oldest pyramid in Egypt, that of King Djoser, the founder of the Old Kingdom," Antiquities and Tourism Minister Khaled El-Enany said on Thursday at the site.

It is "the first building in the world made entirely of stone", El-Enany added.

The structure was designed by Imhotep, described by some as the world's first architect.

Egypt has touted a flurry of archaeological finds in recent years, in the hope of boosting its vital tourism sector, which has suffered multiple shocks since the 2011 uprising.
