Explore the history of pyramid construction in the city of Dahshur and how it developed into the Khufu pyramid on the Giza plateau. The area includes the dented or curved pyramid, one corner of which was broken and never completed.

Find out and enjoy the areas around Dahshur, which was a test ground for the Giza pyramids. A professional guide will tell you what you need to know for your visit to Dahshur, the most important being that Sneferu wasn’t happy with the curved pyramid he had built, so he had another one constructed, which today is referred to as the Red Pyramid. The Red Pyramid is the first full-sized pyramid with smooth walls and has a perfect angle of inclination of 44 degrees.

One of the best-preserved pyramids is the Red Pyramid, which rises to a height of 101 meters. It is one of the most important landmarks of Dahshur and along with the rest of the region, it was the most popular place because it was the tallest building before the Pyramid of Cheops.

The pyramids of Dahshur stand as documentation for the ancient Egyptians regarding the architectural procedures that took place and the experience that was gathered from building the Giza Pyramids.

Enjoy seeing to sites that are fascinating and have a historical component; these trips often last half a day. These trips are available in many cities and tourist destinations worldwide.

Itinerary

Our guide will receive you in a modern car driven by a professional and experienced driver to reach the Dahshur area. Our guide will provide you with basic information and additional information from his experience about the Dahshur area where the pyramids began.

Snefru has two pyramids one in the north and another in the south at Dahshur, The two pyramids are only one kilometer apart. Each pyramid is about 105 m high

The Dahshur pyramid complex includes:

1. The surrounding wall (discovered in 1952)

2. The rhomboidal pyramid

3. The satellite pyramid

4. The funerary temple

5. The rising road

6. The Valley Temple

The Valley Temple or the Reception Temple was excavated by Ahmed Fakhry in 1951/1952, is accessible from the long causeway. The building consists of three parts: an antechamber, a courtyard with pillars and six chapels.

For the curved pyramid, the angle of the pyramid was changed. There are several reasons why the slope has changed:

Calculation error, sudden death of the king for this reason, the workers had to modify the slope in order to complete the pyramid more quickly, if construction continued on the original slope, the pyramid would collapse due to the heavy masonry. And cracks appeared during construction and were filled with plaster.

After completing your tour and leaving you at the end of the tour to explore the inside of the pyramid and take photos, your driver will take you to the airport or to your hotel.

King Sneferu was the first king to have a pyramid built for his burial. Many people in the Middle Kingdom liked him so much that they named their children after him. There is a story called the Prophecy of Neferty that takes place during his reign.
