We went to Dashur the day after our trip to Giza - what a contrast, it was practically empty! The red pyramid is amazing - and it was brilliant to go inside. It was quite claustophobic, smelled bad (bat poo gives an ammonia pong) and a long tunnel down, but totally worth it. I was glad to go to Giza... more

We travelled to Dahsur as part of our guided tour with Rasha. The only sight you can enter is the Red Pyramid. And what a sight. Known as the first true pyramid.

They were built in the time between the Step Pyramid at Sakkara and the Great Pyramids at Giza. The Red Pyramid is a very nice pyramid and you can... more

We arranged tours with Karen from Heart of Egypt (--) and her driver for our stay to do most of the major tourist sites. The following describes what we saw in Dahshur. This location is off the beaten path and not many tourists were there. We had the chance to go inside a pyramid… the Red Pyramid. To go inside... more
