Not far from the buzz of Cairo but seemingly a world away is the ancient Egyptian site of Dahshur. Part of a military base until 1996, it seems that Dahshur has managed to retain its secretive edge. For, despite boasting some of Egypt’s oldest pyramids, it is still relatively quiet. Those who visit Dahshur are greeted by sites such as the skewed Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid, probable burial site of the pharaoh Sneferu. Over time, more and more of these pyramids are being opened to the public, making Dahshur an up and comer in the world of historic sites.
