Cairo Trip Overview
a special private half day tour to visit one of the most important archeological site. Dahshur Anyone making the journey down here is likely to have the site completely to themselves. In pyramid chronology, Dahshur comes after Saqqara but before Giza and Abu Sir. The two main pyramids here were both built for the pharaoh Sneferu (R.2613-2589 B.C.), father of Khufu, builder of the Great Pyramid at Giza.
The Bent Pyramid was begun first. It can lay claim to being the first pyramid proper-all those that had come before were stepped.
the North Pyramid (also called the Red Pyramid), this was constructed with a gentler slope of 43 degrees. A stair on the north face allows visitors access to the interior. From the entrance 100 feet (30 m) up, an excellent view to the south takes in the pyramids of Saqqara, Abu Sir, and Giza. A 70yard (65 m) passage leads down to three chambers, the first two of which have high corbel ceilings.
You will have a chance to go inside each of the two pyramids.
