Snefru was a passionate builder and his Dahshur pyramids mark the evolution from step pyramids like the Pyramid of Djoser in Saqqara to true pyramids like the ones in Giza. The Bent Pyramid curves at the top because cracks appeared, forcing Snefru’s architects to change their plan. But they learned their lesson in time to build the Red Pyramid, Egypt’s first true pyramid and the model for Snefru’s son Khufu’s Great Pyramid of Giza. Shorter Dahshur tours typically include a stroll around the pyramids, a photo stop, and perhaps a camel ride; longer tours take you inside one or more pyramid.
