Tag 01 Cairo Half-Day Tour to Meidum Archaeological Site
Happy Egypt Tour guide will meet you at the reception of your hotel and start your tour of the pyramid of Meidum. The pyramid of Meidum is one of a total of 4 pyramids for Snefru, who was the father of King Cheops. The pyramid is located in the town of Al-Wasta in Beni Suef Governorate, about 90 kilometers southwest of Cairo.
During the reign of Pharaoh Huni, the last ruler of the 3rd Dynasty, it was constructed and completed by Pharaoh Sneferu, the founder of the 4th Dynasty and father of Khufu, who built the Great Pyramid of Giza. The Meidum Pyramid has a unique design, as it started as a step pyramid but was later modified to give it a smooth outer casing, transforming it into a true pyramid.
However, much of the outer casing has collapsed, giving the structure its distinctive appearance today, resembling a tower surrounded by rubble. This pyramid is notable for being one of the earliest attempts to create a smooth-sided pyramid in ancient Egypt.
