El Fayoum Pyramids Tour
- Your tour representative will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo to start the program.
- Begin by transferring to El Fayoum, which is 145 km away from Cairo.
- Upon arrival, visit Hawara Pyramid, an archaeological site in Egypt, south of the site of Crocodilopolis at the entrance to the depression of the Fayoum oasis. It is the site of a pyramid built by the Pharaoh Amenemhat III in the 19th century BC.
- Next, head to the Pyramid of Lahun. Like the other Twelfth Dynasty pyramids in the Faiyum, the Pyramid of Lahun is made of mudbrick, but here the core of the pyramid consists of a network of stone walls that were infilled with mudbrick. This approach was probably intended to ensure the stability of the brick structure.
Afterwards, see the pyramid at Meidum. It is thought to be just the second pyramid built after Djoser's and may have been originally built for Huni, the last pharaoh of the Third Dynasty, and continued by Sneferu. Because of its unusual appearance, the pyramid is called el-heram el-kaddaab — (Pseudo Pyramid) in Egyptian Arabic.
Later, return to your hotel to conclude the tour.
