Pyramids of Dahshour
Dashur is famous for its pyramids built during the reign of the great pharaoh Snofru. By the way, scientists consider these structures to be the first tombs in the history of the king, erected according to new types of structures.
Another attraction in Dahshur is the Bent Pyramid got its name due to the irregular shape. At its construction, the builders for some reason changed the angle of the faces. Perhaps the Egyptians simply made a mistake, but historians attribute this construction move to the architects' concern for the strength and durability of the pyramid. The main thing, one can say, is the “revolutionary” difference between the Dashur Broken Pyramid and other Egyptian structures in that it has two entrances - the “traditional” northern one and almost no southern one.

Reviews
Deluxe Travel were great to deal with, we arranged a WhatsApp call the day before and spoke to Mona who was happy to tailor our package to suit our availability. We were met by Mohammed at the airport and he was very friendly and helped us get through the airport and to our hotel very quickly.
During the tour, our tour guide, Henry, was very polite and attentive. We were impressed about how knowledgeable he was and felt he did an excellent job presenting the wonderful information of all those amazing sites. We went inside of 3 pyramids, did the camel rides, and had a tasty lunch in a restaurant with the great view of the pyramids. Due to covid concerns, we requested the tour guide to wear face mask and keep social distance, and Henry honored our request throughout the entire tour.
The private van was clean and spacious. The driver was very experienced and able to navigate through the traffic efficiently.
Overall we enjoy this tour completely. It's definitely one of the highlights of our Egypt trip.
I definitely recommend anyone to get on this tour. By the way the food was delicious!
