Here’s an overview of your tour

The quest for Egyptian Pyramids is an endless journey, extending far beyond the Great Pyramid of Giza. It all began with the ambitious King Snefru, who ventured to the forgotten land of Meidum to construct a monumental pyramid, the largest of its era. This very pyramid, known as the Pyramid of Meidum, laid the foundation for the construction of the iconic Great Pyramids of Giza.

Fast forward 45 minutes away from Meidum and a millennium later, another monarch named Senusert II embarked on his own pyramid-building endeavor. In El Lahun, Senusert created an underground marvel, a labyrinthine network of tunnels and corridors leading to a magnificent burial chamber that represented the pinnacle of architectural achievement in his time. Astonishingly, this pyramid remained sealed for over 150 years.

Today, with me as your guide, we have the opportunity to explore these forgotten pyramids of Egypt, decoding their mysteries and uncovering the rich history that precedes the grandeur of the Great Pyramids.
