Cairo Half-Day Tour to Dahshur Pyramids

Visitors from around the globe travel to Egypt to delve into its rich history and witness its remarkable landmarks.

Enhance your understanding of Egypt’s ancient history with this Cairo Half-Day Tour to Dahshur Pyramids, tracing back to the pre-dynastic period and the early Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom. This Dahshur Day Tour from Cairo is the perfect opportunity to experience Egypt’s fascinating past

Itinerary

Begin your incredible Cairo Day Tours with Cairo Top Tours, where our tour leader will meet you at your chosen location in Cairo or Giza. You'll be comfortably transported in a private deluxe vehicle to Dahshur Necropolis, about ten kilometres south of Saqqara. As you journey along the agricultural road parallel to the plateau, enjoy the sight of lush palm plantations, fertile lands, and the serene atmosphere. In the distance, the impressive stone pyramids of King Snefru rise above the desert, situated around 35 km from central Cairo. These early Egyptian pyramids, built by King Snefru—father of Cheops, who reigned from 2561 to 2538 BC—demonstrate the grandeur of ancient architecture.

It is said that Snefru dispatched a fleet of forty ships to Lebanon to bring back cedarwood, much of which remains preserved within his pyramids. The Bent Pyramid, one of his most famous constructions, reflects the transitional phase from stepped pyramids (mastabas) to the smooth-sided pyramids we know today. Snefru is also credited with a southern campaign to restore stability along Egypt's borders. His legacy includes the Red Pyramid, the third largest in Egypt after those of Cheops and Chephren, and the Meidum Step Pyramid, his first attempt at creating a grand tomb.

After completing your Cairo Half-Day Tour of Dahshur Pyramids, you will be transferred back to your hotel.
