Begin with a visit to the step pyramid at Meidum, then travel to Dahshur to view two more pyramids from the early 4th Dynasty of the Old Kingdom.
The Bent Pyramid, which has a distinctive bend due to the width of its base, and the Red Pyramid, the third-largest in Egypt, follow the pyramids of Cheops and Chephren in size. Continue your Egypt day tours of Dahshur, Memphis, and Meidum with a visit to Memphis, once the world's oldest capital, now known as Mit Rahina, where an open-air museum features impressive statues of King Ramses II from the New Kingdom.
