Dashur is located 26 km southeast of Giza. The archaeological site has several pyramids, two of which are the oldest, largest and best preserved in Egypt, the Rhomboidal or Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid, both from the IV Dynasty, ordered to be built by the father of Pharaoh Cheops, Esnofru.

The shape of the Bent Pyramid is not known if it was due to a construction error that made them go from an inclination of 60 degrees to 43 degrees from 47 meters high or it was done intentionally. Once finished, they covered it with white limestone blocks that it still preserves up to 49 meters. After 50 years, in 2019 they opened their interior to the public after restoring it; You go down a 79 meter long tunnel to the two chambers inside.

The Red Pyramid is the first «classical» or triangular-sided pyramid in the world; It is also considered the first smooth-sided pyramid built in Egypt. It receives the name of Red for the color of the limestone with which it is made. The entrance is 28 meters high, from there you go down 60 meters, until you reach a room with a false vault ceiling more than 12 meters high.
