What is Dahshur known for?

Located around 25 miles (40 kilometers) south of Cairo, Dahshur is an ancient archaeological site known for its pyramids. However, unlike Giza, the attraction tends to draw fewer crowds. The most famous sights are the Bent Pyramid, known for its unusual angled shape, and the Red Pyramid, named for its reddish hue.

What do you see on a tour of Dahshur?

Dahshur day trips departing from Cairo typically stop at the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, the burial ground of Saqqara (home to the Step-Pyramid of Djoser), and the necropolis of Memphis, once the capital of ancient Egypt. Half-day tours usually only include Dahshur, Saqqara, and Memphis.

What is the best month to visit Dahshur?

The best months to visit Dahshur are the cooler months, roughly from November through April. Visiting Egypt involves a lot of outdoor sightseeing, especially if you’re interested in seeing millennia-old pyramids. Avoid summer, but if you come then, make sure to bring a lot of water and good sun protection.

Is Dahshur good for kids?

Yes, Dahshur is a great destination for kids, especially older children interested in ancient Egypt. Visit with a guide who can help you decode the ruins and offer historical context. Infants and toddlers are trickier and will have to be carried since strollers aren’t great over sand.

Travel advisory

Due to safety risks in parts of this area, travelers should review the latest guidance and information from government agencies.

Cairo

Know before you go

*Less crowded than Giza, Dahshur is a great choice for photographers and Instagrammers looking for a pyramid picture without the touts and tourists. *The site is very exposed. Wear a hat and sunscreen even at cooler times of year. *Sandy terrain makes Dahshur a challenging choice for travelers who rely on wheelchairs, although a 4WD can get you up close to enjoy the views.
