The Fascinating History Behind our Dahshur Pyramids Excursions

The narrative of our Dahshur Pyramids excursions centers on the reign of King Sneferu, the father of Khufu and the greatest builder of the Old Kingdom. During your Dahshur Pyramids tour, you will learn how this royal site served as a testing ground for the transition from step pyramids to the first true, smooth-sided pyramids. History comes alive at the Dahshur Pyramids as our expert guides recount the trials and triumphs of ancient architects who corrected the angles of the Bent Pyramid to eventually achieve the structural perfection seen in the majestic Red Pyramid.

Highlights: What to See During Your Dahshur Pyramids Tour

The definitive highlight of any Dahshur Pyramids tour is the chance to enter the Red Pyramid, the first successful smooth-sided pyramid ever built, and marvel at its soaring corbelled ceilings. Within the Dahshur Pyramids complex, visitors can also admire the unique silhouette of the Bent Pyramid, which still retains much of its original limestone casing. Many of our guests choose to enhance their historical odyssey by combining these architectural wonders with our high-end Cairo Tours, allowing for a seamless transition from the foundational sites of Dahshur to the iconic Great Pyramids in total comfort.
