In 2023 I traveled to Egypt; a dream I had held dear to my heart for many years.
This is that story.
I'm on my way to the Red Pyramid—one hour south of the Giza Necropolis.
DAHSHUR NECROPOLIS

A shepherd moving his flock in the middle of the road—bringing the traffic to a halt.
Security checkpoints are tight and everywhere.
Unlike the Giza necropolis, the Red Pyramid is a lone pyramid piercing what is otherwise a blank horizon.
I've hired a private driver—he says max 20 minutes before we're off to the next site.
The entrance is situated 30 meters above the ground—no easy feat under the scorching Sahara sun.
The passageway lead downwards and into the heart of the pyramid in an angle of 43 degrees and a ceiling measuring only 90 cm in height. Thus to descend, you must walk backwards facing an ever diminishing point of light—a memorable rite of passage.
