Overview
Sakkara and Dahshur Pyramids Day Tour
Explore the history of the pyramids' construction with a unique trip to Dahshur. Discover the diverse antiquities the area encompasses. Dahshur tells the story of the development of Egyptian architecture, and despite its historical importance, it has a picturesque nature and a seasonal pond where papyrus plants grow, which tourists come to see, and migratory birds, if these cultural and natural resources make it.
