Bent Pyramid of
Snefru in Dashur.
It is reopened for visitors after being closed for 54 years.
This pyramid was the hardest ever to enter.
That is of course just my opinion.
My legs were still shaking four days after this. But it was worth it!
You can take photos if you buy a photo ticket that costs 300EGP and the ticket to enter the pyramid was 60EGP. This was on the 29th of July 2019.

The Complete Pyramids
by Mark Lehner.
Inside the Bent Pyramid.
It is unique in having two internal structures, with entrances on the north and west sides.
From the north side a long, sloping passage leads to a narrow antechamber with an impressive corbelled roof.
The burial chamber, also corbelled, is above this antechamber.
The second passage runs from the west side of the pyramid, through portcullis blocking systems,
to another burial chamber, again with corbelled roof.
This is at a higher level than the first.
Structural instability is evident as the chamber was completely shored up with balks and scaffolding of great cedar beams.
Some time after both chambers were constructed,
a connecting passage was made between them.
