Dahshur, Al Badrashin, Giza, Egypt
Dahshour is considered a region with a great potential for tourism development. It is currently well-known for the Red and Bent Pyramid and the Black Pyramid, but its rich natural and cultural heritage remains hidden.
Dahshour has remained hidden for years, indifferent to the passage of tourists who travel within established international circuits close by, and almost untouched by modernization. At the same time, the region of Dahshour holds a privileged location situated south of Cairo, between the river Nile and the desert,comprising an integral section of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Many local community members still maintain old customs, and live in a traditional way. Most of the population’s livelihoods are based on crops and livestock farming. Dahshour offers the opportunity to live unique and authentic experiences based on farming lifestyles, and to learn about the history of an ancient region.
