Day 2: A Visit to Lahun and Medium Pyramids
After breakfast at your hotel, continue your 2 Day Pyramids Tour from Cairo with a journey to explore two fascinating pyramids away from the traditional Giza sites.
Begin with a visit to the Pyramid of Lahun, built during the Middle Kingdom for Pharaoh Senusret II. Unlike the monumental pyramids of Giza, this pyramid was made with a mudbrick core, sort of like a stacked heart over a natural limestone foundation, it shows how the construction methods differed in that period.
Then continue on to the Meidum Pyramid, which is traditionally linked with Pharaoh Snefru. The monument is especially known for its odd look, with the surviving remains of its original outer casing ,and that’s what gives the tower-like shape you can see today. It marks an important phase, in the architectural evolution that later moved toward the smooth-sided pyramids of ancient Egypt.
After exploring the Lahun and Meidum Pyramids, enjoy lunch before beginning your journey back to Cairo. Your private driver will transfer you to Cairo International Airport for your departure marking the end of your memorable Pyramids Tour in Egypt.
