From your hotel, you will be taken to begin a tour that combines archaeology, history, nature, and the traditions of the rural community. The three pyramids of Dahshur—the Black Pyramid, constructed by King Amenhotep III, the Red Pyramid and the Bent Pyramid, constructed by King Sneferu—are close to the village of Manshiyet Dahshur. They are a component of the World Heritage Site Memphis Necropolis. These pyramids, which extend approximately 3.5 kilometers in diameter, were opened to the public in late 1996 and contain historical components from the Fourth and Twelfth Dynasties.
Dense rural vegetation, Dahshur's seasonal pond and migratory birds, and ancient monuments with history. According to the General Authority for Tourism Development, Dahshur has been out of sight for many years, as it is the complete opposite of the tourist hub that tourists usually take during their trip to Egypt.
Another landmark of the village is the narrow market street, which contains a number of traditional cafes, bakeries, and craft workshops such as carpentry workshops and palm basket making workshops. In Dahshur, you will also find a village called Manshiyat Kasab, the smallest village in the area. Enjoy lunch after a stroll through this unique area. You will be driven to your accommodation at the conclusion of the tour.
