Day 01

Hawara Pyramid and Lahun Pyramid Excursion

• 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 located 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 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 infilled with mudbrick. This approach was probably intended to ensure the stability of the brick structure.
• Later, return to Cairo to conclude the tour.
