Lunch will be served at a nice local restauran to taste authentic Egyptian culinary favorites, including options like mixed grill meats, fresh oriental salads, freshly baked flatbreads, and traditional dipping sauces.

Moving on to enjoy the trip to the Red Pyramid and Bent Pyramid at Dahshur. Dahshur is a famous royal necropolis in Egypt that holds many famous pyramids, including the red and bent pyramids of King Snefru.The Dahshur Pyramids (The Bent & The Red) drive further south through the desert sands to the royal necropolis of Dahshur. This spectacular site showcases the fascinating transition and architectural evolution of true pyramid engineering under Pharaoh Sneferu:

• The Bent Pyramid: Marvel at the unique, double-angled shape of this iconic structure, which represents an architectural transition point where builders changed the slope mid-construction to prevent structural collapse.

• The Red Pyramid: Step up to the world's very first successful, smooth-sided true stone pyramid. Named for the reddish hue of its limestone blocks, you will have the unique opportunity to walk down into its deep inner chambers and soaring corbelled ceilings.
