Dahshour
Although the site is not very famous between tourists but it is one of the main highlights you have to see in Giza. The place is 30 km to the south of Giza pyramids; the place contains the pyramids of IV and XII dynasty. in dahshour you will see the pyramid of amen m hat II and Amen m hat III called the black pyramid.

And the main two pyramids in the location:

1-The bent pyramid:
It was built for king senefru, the founder of the 4th dynasty to be his royal tomb. We called it the bent pyramid because actually the architect made a mistake and he didn’t realize it until the building reach 48 m high. He changed the original plane to make it safer. So finally it arrived to the actual shape.

2-The red pyramid:
About 2km to the north of the bent pyramid, another pyramid built for king senefru .this time the architect avoid the previous mistake and he followed the same angel from the bottom to the top. It is called the red pyramid because the builder had used very special rosette limestone to built the inner burial chamber.
Other attractive sightseeing in Giza

Pyramid of meidum
This Pyramid has a special magic! In my opinion, Meidum Pyramid is located 65 Km to the south of Sakkara.

The last King of the 3rd Dynasty, King Huni, built the Pyramid of Meidum in the style of a Step Pyramid, originally being 8 steps built on top of one another! For a long time Egyptologists thought that the Pyramid was built by King Snefru, the builder of the two Pyramids in Dashur.

3- Full day tour to the Egyptian Museum, Citadel, Mosque of Mohamed Ali and khan el khalili or Old Cairo

The Egyptian museum
The place was opened 1902,it houses the worlds largest collection of the Egyptian monuments in the world concluding the treasures of the famous boy king tut ankh amen, the mummies, the mummified animals and the jewelleries of the kings and queens.

The Citadel and Mohamed Ali Mosque
The citadel is an old fortress built by salah al din in 1176 to fortify the city against the crusaders, it was used as a residence by the rulers of Egypt for 800 years so it was restored many times and lots of buildings had been added to the place. The most beautiful addition was the mosque of Mohamed Ali Or the alabaster mosque, built in 1830

Coptic Cairo
The place is in the old Islamic capital of Egypt but we called it Coptic Cairo because it has a large number of the oldest churches in Egypt like the hanging church, saint serguis church. Also we will visit the oldest synagogue and the Coptic museum (optional)

Khan el khalili
The most famous market in Egypt, built in the 14th century. Nowadays it is famous for its unusual, tipically oriental souvenirs. The medieval atmosphere of this traditional market together with the labyrinth layout of the street gives the visitors lots of pleasure and glimpse into what medieval market once were like.
