Dahshur

Just to the south west of Maadi across the Nile are the pyramids of Dahshur. We visited two large pyramids, the Bent Pyramid, whose angle changes partway up, and the Red Pyramid which is constructed of reddish limestone. We were able to enter the Red Pyramid, although the close quarters and and stale air discouraged some of us from going all the way down into it.
