About Tour Package

What is the Dahshur area?

Dahshur is one of the most important archaeological areas south of Cairo. It is distinguished by the presence of a unique group of pyramids that demonstrate the development of pyramid construction in ancient Egypt especially during the reign of King Sneferu founder of the Fourth Dynasty and father of King Khufu.

Dahshur is located to the south of Saqqara and includes a group of pyramids that represent the pharaohs’ attempts to achieve the perfect pyramid shape.

One of Dahshur’s most famous landmarks is the “Bent Pyramid” an early attempt to build a complete pyramid. However it exhibits a pronounced curvature at the top due to changes in the angle of the structure during construction. This change is believed to have been due to structural stability problems.

Nevertheless the Bent Pyramid is one of the most important testaments to the ingenuity of Egyptian engineers in overcoming architectural challenges.

In conclusion, the Memphis Saqqara and Dahshur tour from Cairo Airport is a true opportunity to learn about the beginnings of Egyptian civilization from its earliest locations.

From the moment you leave the airport, the journey begins through three main Pharaonic stations transporting you from Egypt’s first capital to the oldest pyramid in history, and then to the evolution of the pyramids as we know them today.
