Dahshur, located about 40 kilometres south of Cairo, is an ancient royal necropolis dating back to Egypt's Old Kingdom. It is home to some of Egypt's oldest and best-preserved pyramids, including the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid, both built under Pharaoh Sneferu. These pyramids offer a unique glimpse into the architectural innovations that preceded the construction of the Giza Pyramids. Visitors can explore these impressive structures, learn about ancient Egyptian history, and enjoy a more tranquil experience compared to the Giza Plateau.
