The Black Pyramid Special Opening Tour

$3700 per permit per visit , excluding tour costs.

Hidden in the desert of Dahshur stands one of Egypt’s most mysterious monuments: the Black Pyramid of King Amenemhat III, originally named “Amenemhat Is Mighty and Perfect.” Unlike the famous pyramids of Giza, this colossal structure has remained closed to the public since the earliest excavations, sealed off for decades and forgotten by all but scholars.

On this extraordinary tour, that changes, for you only.

Why the Black Pyramid Is One of Egypt’s Rarest Tours to Book

Unlike Giza or Saqqara, the Black Pyramid of Amenemhat III in Dahshur isn’t a monument you can simply add to a standard itinerary. It’s frequently closed to the public altogether, which is what drives both its rarity and its price.

The Access Challenge

Dahshur sees a fraction of the visitors of Giza, and the Black Pyramid specifically has restricted, inconsistent public access due to its structural condition and ongoing preservation work. Securing entry involves:

Direct coordination with Dahshur site authorities for a specific access window
An antiquities inspector present on-site
Confirmation that the structure is safely open on your travel dates — availability can shift with little notice

What Makes This Different From a Regular Dahshur Stop

Many Egypt itineraries drive past Dahshur or stop briefly at the Bent Pyramid. This tour is built specifically around securing entry to the Black Pyramid itself — a site most visitors, and even many guides, never get inside.

Planning Around Limited Availability

Because access depends on the pyramid’s structural status at the time of your visit, book this tour with flexible dates where possible, and confirm with me directly before finalizing other Dahshur or Saqqara plans for the same trip.

By special arrangement, the Black Pyramid is reopened exclusively for your visit. A dedicated team of inspectors, engineers, and workers transforms the site into a hive of activity, unlocking and preparing this ancient monument just for your arrival. No crowds. No tourists. No compromises.

This is more than a visit.
It’s a privilege reserved for a very few people on the planet.

The Black Pyramid doesn’t open for the public.
It opens for you.

The visit date will be scheduled based on the availability of the requested site and should be arranged at least 2-3 weeks prior to the visit.

A wide range of vehicle options is available, including minibusses, coasters, and large buses. For a more luxurious experience, high-end vehicles such as Mercedes, BMW, and Maybach are also offered.
