What is Dahshur Day Use Farm?
Dahshur Day Use Farm offers a genuine taste of the Egyptian countryside near the Dahshur Pyramids. Mornings begin with hot feteer, farm cheese, honey, eggs, fresh bread and tea made over a coal fire, followed by bread baking, horse riding, palm-lined walks or rural workshops. Its location near the Bent and Red Pyramids makes it easy to combine a history visit with a shaded farm breakfast rather than driving straight back to Cairo. It is a rural experience rather than a luxury resort, so families should confirm bathroom facilities, the food package, children’s activities and transport arrangements in advance.
