The Red Pyramid
The Red Pyramid or also known as the North Pyramid. With an original height of 105 m and a current height of 100 m, it is the largest necropolis of Dhaschur and is located 40 km south of Cairo. It is the 3 largest surviving pyramids. This Pyramid was built by Pharaoh Sneferu. He ruled over Egypt from 2613 BC. – 2589 BC It owes its name to the reddish color of the rock from which its unclad core was built.
The second Pyramid that this pharaoh had built was the Bent Pyramid. 2 km south is this pyramid. It is the second of the Great Pyramids of Dhaschur. It is notable for the fact that when it was built, its slope was drastically changed halfway.
From a distance about 2 km in Dhaschur you can also see the black pyramid (made of black mud bricks) of Sesostris III (12th Dynasty – Middle Kingdom).

The Great Sphinx of Giza has risen from the sands of the Egyptian desert for more than four millennia, representing the most of the time it was covered up to its head by the Egyptian desert, which contributed to its preservation contributed. The nose and the goatee are broken off. The Great Sphinx of Giza is a limestone statue of a reclining sphinx, a mythical creature with the head of a human, and the body of a lion. Facing directly from west to east, it stands on the Giza Plateau on the west bank of the Nile in Giza, Egypt. The face of the Sphinx appears to represent the pharaoh Khafre.
Great Sphinx of Giza
The Sphinx was carved from the remains of a limestone mound used as a quarry for the pyramid of Cheops. Remains of paint on the ear of the Sphinx suggest that the figure was originally painted in color. Thutmose IV erected between the paws of the Sphinx the so-called stele of dreams, which was reported by an inscription from his life and calling to the pharaoh.
