2025 Monshaat Dahshour Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

The Old Kingdom was the heyday of Egyptian pyramid construction. Cairo can be divided into three pyramid areas from south to north, namely the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid in Dahsur, the Step Pyramid in Saqqara, and the most well-known Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure in Giza. You can visit the interior of the pyramid. You need to squat to enter. There is a long way to go and you can't stand up and walk straight. You need to have a certain amount of physical strength. There is no special decoration inside. Some of them have a strong smell of ammonia. It is recommended to pick one to go in and experience it~ In addition to the pyramids, there are also some temple ruins next to the pyramid area that you can visit. You can experience riding a camel and taking photos around the scenic area. After negotiating the price, try to record the video to avoid being defrauded. #Cairo #100 Ways to Travel #Giza #Pyramids #Ruins

I went to Cairo's Bent Pyramid and Red Pyramid. I went there by Uber, but I couldn't catch a taxi on the way back, so I had to go by tour or chartered one lol As a result, there were no tourists and it was almost like we had it all to ourselves. Compared to the three pyramids of Giza, there are no people or shops and it's not a tourist spot, so it feels like the pyramids suddenly appear in the desert, which is mysterious and recommended. The inside of the pyramid is also more fulfilling than Giza. And it's cheap! To be honest, it might be better than the three pyramids of Giza. If you have time, you should definitely go! #BentPyramid #RedPyramid

The Pharaoh Snefru, the founder of the Fourth Dynasty, single-handedly changed the design language of pyramid construction. 【The Second Experiment of the Pyramid】 Height: 104.7 meters Base length: 188.5 meters Inclination: Originally 53 degrees, modified midway to 43 degrees Designer: Snefru (Snefru) Era: 27th to 26th century BC Experiments: First Meidum, Second Bent, Third Red 【The Biggest Architectural Disaster in History】 Since its excavation in 1956, it was reopened in 2019. The lower part of the pyramid is at an angle of 53° with the ground The upper part of the pyramid narrows to 43° A temporary modification was made when building up to a height of 47 meters. The Bent Pyramid has two entrances: the northern entrance is 12 meters above the ground, and a wooden staircase has been built there. The western entrance is located at a very high position. The northern entrance leads to a room below ground level, while the western entrance leads to the inner burial chamber. 55 meters south of the Bent Pyramid, there is a smaller pyramid, 26 meters high, with a base side of 52.8 meters and an inclination of 44.5° 【Pharaoh Architect - Snefru】 Snefru (reigned 2613-2589 BC) On the Saqqara plain near the ancient capital Memphis, the Step Pyramid designed by Vizier Imhotep for Pharaoh Djoser became the tallest man-made structure of its time. Snefru, who was passionate about tomb construction, was determined to surpass his predecessors and wanted to create his own set of tomb design language. Therefore, he conducted three experiments before obtaining a true pyramid: ① Meidum Pyramid: The outer casing collapsed ② Bent Pyramid: The inclination was modified midway ③ Red Pyramid: The first time a smooth-sided pyramid was completed The Meidum Pyramid and the Bent Pyramid were two great experiments. The neighboring Red Pyramid is the world's first true pyramid.
