The Red Pyramid
The Red Pyramids of Egypt are so called due to the colour of the constituent red limestones. It has a height of 104 meters and was perhaps the first successful free standing one at Cairo. The red hue of this stone structure make it worth a visit.
The Bent Pyramid
The Bent Pyramids are the baby hand trials of Egyptians to build smooth edged pyramids instead of older built step ones. It is believed that the edges are unevenly bent with unequal weight distribution due to unequal cut of the rocks. This was first of all smooth edged pyramids that you see in Egypt.
The Step Pyramid
Welcome to the oldest built pyramids in Egypt! This stone structure is the house of burial chambers of Pharaoh and his eleven daughters. The pyramid has six steps, and so is the name. The pyramid has tunnels, one within the other to prevent theft but this makes the Step Pyramids more vulnerable to collapse. Tourists are not allowed inside but you can enjoy the view from outside.
