The Red Pyramid, located in the Dahshur necropolis, offers a less crowded yet equally impressive ancient Egyptian experience. Easily accessible by taxi or tour from Cairo, the site involves walking on uneven terrain, and entering the pyramid requires descending a steep, narrow passage, which may be challenging for visitors with mobility issues or claustrophobia. While solo visits are possible, a guided tour is highly recommended for historical context and navigating the site. The site is open year-round, but spring and autumn offer the most pleasant weather, as summer temperatures can be extreme. Expect an entry cost of approximately 100-120 EGP for the Dahshur necropolis, plus transportation. A typical visit duration for the Red Pyramid and nearby Bent Pyramid is 1.5 to 3 hours. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes, bring water, and sun protection, and consider combining the visit with Saqqara for a comprehensive day trip.
