Meet with your Egypt Tours tour guide, then drive to Fayoum: Egypt's largest oasis, overlooking Lake Qarun, which is a popular spot for hunting and fishing. You will visit the remains of the Temple and Pyramid of Amenhat III and Qasr Qarun, a well-preserved temple from the Greco-Roman Era. Lunch at the Auberge El-Fayoum Hotel, overlooking the lake. Then continue our tour to Maidum. The Pyramid of Maidum, originally a seven-stepped Pyramid, was later enlarged to an eight-stepped Pyramid. Eventually, the steps were filled in and smoothed out, turning it into a true Pyramid. This Pyramid has a huge structure that is surrounded by debris from the casing that collapsed. The Maidum Pyramid is thought to have been started by Huni, the last ruler of the 3rd Dynasty, and then completed by his son, Sneferu. Sneferu was the first 4th Dynasty Pharao (2613-2494 B.C.). A little north of the Maidum Pyramid, you’ll find the remains of the Seila Step Pyramid, which is made from limestone and is thought to be from the 2nd Dynasty. Transfer back to your hotel. Overnight.
