It includes the bent pyramid and others nearby. Its on a dry and dusty section of desert but very impressive to see and not to be missed if youre in the Cairo area. It is one of the least visited places with pyramids so you wont have crowds of people. More

Our great Guide Zach Azzam took us there..we had the best story teller, the first pyramids and the King with 3 pyramids and one Great Pharo.. Zach Azzam made the history lavish live , clear with three dimensional explanation.. It is 20 minutes drive southern Memphis and the tour is worth the Extra $$ paid.. Get into the red pyramid...

The great thing about these pyramids is that you will most likely have them to yourselves and the (very attentive) guards. Remember though that these guards earn about USD70 per month - no misprint, so quite understandably they need some extra. Going inside and walking through rooms shaped triangular is special - and so will your thighs feel a day... More

It is 30 L.E. for Dashur (to see the Bent Pyramid and see / enter the Red Pyramid). It is quite a climb into and out of the Red Pyramid, but it was worth it. Sadly, the reward is the reek of pee in the burial chamber that you can see after climbing up rickety wooden stairs. More
