Cairo Half-Day Tour to Meidum Archaeological Site
Overview
Cairo Half-Day Tour to Meidum Archaeological Site
Most people do not know that there are many more pyramids in Egypt than there are in the Giza pyramids. Other than Cairo Top Tours services, experience the most exciting trip with our highly outstanding Egypt Day Tours. They give you an out-and-out experience that you cannot get anywhere else. A new exposition is available for visiting; it is the Meidum archaeological site built for King Snefru, who at the beginning of the fourth dynasty belonged to the Old Kingdom of Egypt’s history.
However, the pyramid is one of the total of 4 pyramids of Snefru who was the father of King Cheops. Due to assumptions of owning the Great Pyramid at Giza Necropolis, the credit goes to Cheops.
Pyramid of Meidum is situated in the town of Meidum, Al Wasta, Beni Suef Governorate about ninety kilometers in the south-west of Cairo. It is a rather curious monument, which construction was finalized by Senefru, the founder of the fourth dynasty (who started construction during the end of the last kings of the third dynasty), its form is rather close to the step-pyramid, however, it has an outer layer.

The pyramid of Meidum, built by Pharaoh Snefru, Father of King Cheops, stands alone in a desert corner, near a large number of small mastabas. The pyramid of Meidum, built by Pharaoh Snefru, King Cheops's father, stands alone in a desert corner, near a large number of small mastabas. The pyramid was originally built in the form of a staircase, but during the reign of King Senefru, they tried to change the shape of the pyramid, to become from a step pyramid to an entire pyramid, by filling the distances between the steps with a limestone cover After finishing your Cairo Day Tours you will stop at one of our government-authorized papyrus institutes to have a quick tour about how early examples of papers were discovered by ancient Egyptians at the dawn of history, the thing that helped this ancient civilization to rise and develop soo fast during the time when other civilizations were striving to find the basics for living like food, house, and security.
