Wonderful Day Tour to Pyramids, Sphinx, & Dahshur Bent Pyramid
A day tour to the Pyramids of Giza is a must-do for anyone visiting Egypt. This tour typically includes visits to other significant sites in the region, such as the Sphinx and the Dahshur Bent Pyramid.
The tour usually begins with a visit to the Pyramids of Giza, which are among the most recognizable monuments in the world. These pyramids were built in the Old Kingdom period, between 2589 BC and 2504 BC, as tombs for Pharaohs. Visitors can explore the interior of some of the pyramids to view the impressive structure and artwork that adorns them.
The tour then moves on to the Sphinx, which is situated near the Pyramids of Giza. This colossal stone statue is believed to have been built during the reign of the Pharaoh Khafre and has become an iconic symbol of ancient Egypt. Visitors can walk around the Sphinx and marvel at its size and intricate detailing.
Next, the tour takes visitors to the Bent Pyramid at Dahshur, which is located around 40 km south of Cairo. The Bent Pyramid is one of the most unique and significant pyramids in Egypt due to its mysterious inclination angle. According to scholars, the pyramid was initially built to have a shallower slope, but the angle was changed midway through construction, resulting in a bent appearance. Despite this alteration, the Bent Pyramid is one of the most well-preserved pyramids in the region and is an impressive sight to behold.
Lastly, the tour ends with a visit to the Red Pyramid at Dahshur, which is another significant historical site in the area. This pyramid was built around 2600 BC and is the third-largest pyramid in Egypt. Visitors can explore the labyrinthine interior of the pyramid and admire the impressive architectural design.
Overall, the day tour to the Pyramids, Sphinx, & Dahshur Bent Pyramid is an incredible opportunity to explore some of the most iconic sites in Egypt’s ancient history. Visitors will be transported back in time and gain a deeper understanding of the architectural prowess and cultural significance of these incredible structures. So, it’s a must-visit tour for anyone visiting Egypt.
