We begin our tour with a visit to the beautiful Dahshur area after picking you up from your hotel. Your guide will accompany you every step of the way to help you understand this area of experimentation, where the Bent Pyramid was built. Archaeologists disagree on why it was bent. Was it because they decided to change the angle of the pyramid to prevent it from collapsing, or was it for several other reasons? You can find out with your guide before going to the Red Pyramid.
The serious structural problems encountered during the construction of the rhomboidal pyramid south of Dahshur led Sneferu to build a third large pyramid a little further north. Its name, the Red Pyramid, comes from the colour of its current facing, as its limestone casing has disappeared. Its Egyptian name was xa, meaning "the shining one". In terms of size, it is the third largest pyramid in Egypt. It is very important in the history of the construction of this type of monument, as it is the first pyramid with smooth sides. It is often said that, according to an inscription found at the base of the pyramid, its construction began in the 15th year of Sneferu's reign.
Afterwards, your driver will be waiting to take you to the Giza Pyramids area. The construction of the Great Pyramid took approximately twenty years, and the construction of the passages and lower parts of the pyramid took ten years, according to Herodotus, the Greek historian who visited Egypt in the fourth century BC.
Next, you will see the pyramid of Menkaure. Among his pyramid complex, statues made of schist were found in the valley temple. Lastly, before returning you to your accommodation, we will take you to the Pyramid of Menkaure. The Pyramid's exterior. Granite was used to cover the exterior's first sixteen courses. Tura limestone was used to enclose the upper part as usual.
