Overview
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.
