The Bent Pyramid is an ancient Egyptian pyramid located at the royal necropolis of Dahshur, approximately 40 kilometres south of Cairo, built under the Old Kingdom Pharaoh Sneferu (c. 2600 BC). A unique example of early pyramid development in Egypt, this was the second pyramid built by Sneferu. The Bent Pyramid rises from the desert at a 54-degree inclination, but the top section (above 47 metres) is built at the shallower angle of 43 degrees, lending the pyramid its very obvious 'bent' appearance.

The Red Pyramid, also called the North Pyramid, is the largest of the three major pyramids located at the Dahshur necropolis in Cairo, Egypt. Named for the rusty reddish hue of its red limestone stones, it is also the third largest Egyptian pyramid, after those of Khufu and Khafra at Giza. It is also believed to be Egypt's first successful attempt at constructing a "true" smooth-sided pyramid. Local residents refer to the Red Pyramid as el-heram el-watwaat, meaning the Bat Pyramid. The Red Pyramid was not always red. It used to be cased with white Tura limestone, but only a few of these stones now remain at the pyramid's base, at the corner. During the Middle Ages much of the white Tura limestone was taken for buildings in Cairo, revealing the red limestone beneath . Tour Finishes with drop off at Customer Hotel in Cairo or Giza

Recommended for people who want to go around
Recommended for greedy people who want to go around. We were able to efficiently go around multiple pyramids and ruins. I had a new experience by seeing pyramids other than Giza. The driver, Saeed, was very friendly.

Travelling
We had an incredible time on the Egypt Tour with Sayed mahmoud. From the very start, they were punctual/welcoming/energetic and made us feel included. What really set Sayed mahmoud apart was their deep knowledge of local history / ability to find the best hidden street food. Instead of just reciting facts, they told stories that really brought the place to life. Highlights: • The personal touch: They knew all the best spots to avoid the crowds. • Expertise: Answered every random question we threw at them! • Logistics: The pace was perfect and we never felt rushed. If you’re looking for an authentic and memorable experience, ask for Sayed mahmoud. I’d give them 6 stars if I could!
