Pyramid day in Cairo. Started very eventfully as protesters had closed roads with burning tyres. Egyptian drivers sorted themselves out, reversed down the dual carriageway until the next intersection and then drove the wrong way up the other carriageway – just a normal day’s travel in Cairo! After short diversion we took the road out to Dahshur to see the... More

Even with the state of the tourism industry in Egypt in dire straights we were surprised to find that we were the only visitors. Our tour guide (Mina -e-mail mina.wasfy@yahoo.com) was great. We went the 70m into the Red pyramid and the chamber was awesome. $10 to enter the are (Red and Bent pyramids) but no charge for entering the... More

Realy, realy quiet place for meditation, nobody disturb us, harmony and peace with great wiew. I feel excellant there.

The Dahshur pryamid is just as great as the ones in Giza. The key difference, is that it is less crowded and you are generally left hassle-free.

Take your time - and be sure to have sore legs the day after you walked down (and up) the "Red Pyramid". The Bent Pyramid is something you need to see - to understand, maybe, what it was all about, 5000 years ago...

I know it sounds odd, but it is true. When we went they was no one there untill we were leaving. The cost is only 30E£ each. The Pyramid is the 3rd biggest, and is the oldest of all the real Pyramids in Egypt. The anti-chambers inside are even better than the Great Pyramid and it is only the cost... More

Crossing Dahshur residential area is an experience of it's own. Donkeys,buses,cows,dogs,motorbikes,cars,people all mixed in an organized? madness. Pyramid is very nice also to enter and descend to the tomb chambers. However claustrophobic people and those having difficulties in breathing or climbing in narrow spaces should avoid to enter the Pyramid.

we went through this area riding a camel, it was very fun and we got to see the pyramids from a distance..you can ride camels or horses, however i believe that camels are more fun!! cool trip and good to do around sunset, not too hot nor too cold

I came here by chance while I was traveling around with my tour guide. Suddenly I saw the name sign of pyramid and so curious how it looked like. We entered the area and found the pyramid after 5 minutes driving. Its shape is quite different compared to its neighbour in Giza. The place also is not so crowded as... More
