Dashur
- site of the Bent and Red Pyramids of Sneferu (c.2613-2589 BCE,
the father of Khufu, builder of the Great Pyramid). Try climbing
down the 65m passage of the Red Pyramid and explore its three
corbel-vaulted rooms. From the entry point - 28m up the side of
the pyramid - you have a stunning view to the pyramid fields at
Saqqarah, Abu Sir and Giza. We also walk around the Bent Pyramid
to investigate its remarkable structure and small temple complex.
