Red Pyramid

Dahshur has two main attractions: the Red Pyramid and the Bent Pyramid. The internal passageways of both pyramids are quite challenging. They begin with a steep descent of several dozen meters, and narrow wooden stairs require you to crouch almost the entire way through. The interior is hot and stuffy, but the winding design and spacious chambers showcase the ingenuity of the ancient Egyptians.-2/1/25

Wonderful Pyramid with a perfect shape. Its is in the middle of the desert and less crowded than other sites in or near Cairo. It is said to be the first pyramid built with the mode - smooth face - that will be commonly used there after... It can be visited inside.

The Red Pyramid in Egypt, located in Dahshur, is a marvel of ancient engineering. Built by Pharaoh Sneferu, it’s Egypt’s first successful smooth-sided pyramid. Less crowded than Giza, it offers a serene experience and even allows entry inside. Its red limestone glow at sunset is truly unforgettable. A hidden gem!

Really enjoyed it however, its not for the faint of heart - you have to first climb a flight of stairs after which, you gotta climb down a tight for about 5-10min. Inside is extremely stuffy but definitely interesting to visit

While driving along a quiet highway in South Cairo, I came across a view that stopped me in my tracks. Rising ahead was the Red Pyramid, proud and perfectly shaped and just behind it, the uniquely angled Bent Pyramid. On the opposite side of the road, across the open desert, stood the Step Pyramid of Saqqara, completing a surreal, wide-angle view of ancient history. There’s a panoramic pull-off where you can stop your car without any disturbance. No ticket booths, no crowds - just the still desert, the pyramids, and silence. It felt cinematic and raw, like history revealing itself without asking for permission. One of the most unexpectedly beautiful moments I’ve had in Egypt.

Beautiful pyramid with a very easy walk to the inside. Beware of the guys out front looking for tips from tourists.
