The most famous pyramids of the ancient civilisation are those found on the Giza plateau, including the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, all built during the Fourth Dynasty. Less well-known is the Bent Pyramid, an ancient monument located at the royal necropolis of Dahshur, approximately 25 miles south of Cairo, built under the Old Kingdom Pharaoh Sneferu. In July 2019, authorities re-opened the pyramid to tourists for the first time since 1965 following extensive restoration work.
