First, go to the old royal necropolis of Dahshur to see two of the four pyramids built for King Snefru, the father of King Cheops and his true role model who inspired him, no doubt when he saw his Father Snefru built great pyramids like the curved pyramid at Dahshur, which bent slightly due to the uncoordinated angles, and the first perfectly shaped pyramid known as the red pyramid because it is reddish in the color of the stones used for its construction.
Take time to step inside the pyramids at Dahshur and snap photos before moving to Egypt's oldest capital from the 1 Dynasty 5000 years ago, the administrative center of rule over such a large empire, Memphis. Not much is left of the ancient city, but now you can see the artifacts on display in the open-air museum. Most interesting of all is the alabaster sphinx, which is the second-largest sphinx within the pyramid complex of King Chephren after the famous Great Sphinx of Giza. You'll also see statues of King Ramses II who ruled the country during the new kingdom. The colossal statue for him shows incomparable perfection and reflects a great anatomical knowledge of the craftsmen who shaped the body muscles so precisely.

Red Pyramid: Also known as the North Pyramid, the Red Pyramid is one of the earliest true pyramids and is called "red" due to the reddish hue of its limestone casing. It's accessible for exploration from the inside.
