A deteriorating pyramid with not much to see. There is supposedly some labyrinth structure underground but it’s underwater and the door to the pyramid is locked.Might be worth it if you can pick locks.Area is surrounded by rubble. You can pass your time walking around the rock and pottery fragments.Okay If you are 10 to 15 minutes away, but not worth a special trip.

The place is really cool. But the way to get to is really bad because of the renovations in the roads. I think in 2 months it will be ok, the other thing bad about it is the pyramid is closed because of the underground water. The sight is huge but need lots of excavations & care, it will be a gem if it is looked after.The pyramid is for king Amenemhat III, Middle Kingdom, 12th dynasty, its burial chamber was made out of a single quartzite monolith which was lowered into a larger chamber lined with limestone. This monolithic slab weighed an estimated 110 tons according to Petrie. A course of brick was placed on the chamber to raise the ceiling then the chamber was covered with 3 quartzite slabs (estimated weight 45 tons each). Above the burial chamber were 2 relieving chambers. This was topped with 50 ton limestone slabs forming a pointed roof. Then an enormous arch of brick 3 feet thick was built over the pointed roof to support the core of the pyramid.On the southern side of the pyramid there was a labyrinth palace but all under ruins.On the west side of the pyramid, there is a canal, was dug in the modern time, dividing the cemetery area which is sad. However the view is beautiful.On the eastern side of the pyramid there were lots of tombs from all eras. Some discovered, most of them still under the ground.In general, it is not worth the pumpie way.

It is unique pyramid as it is Made if mud bricks.and there is good landscape around it.and ruins of tombs and ruins of labirant palace

The road needs to be clearer with signs

Lots of ancient times. Joseph time 7 years of famine.

Middle kingdom pyramid of HawaraMudbricks blocks used for outer casing.

Hawara is an ancient necropolis area and an archaeological site of Ancient Egypt, south of the site of Crocodilopolis (Arsinoe, also known as Medinet al-Faiyum) at the entrance to the depression of the Fayyum oasis.This is believed to have been Amenemhets final resting place. At Hawara there was also the intact (pyramid) tomb of Neferu-Ptah, daughter of Amenemhet III. This tomb was found about 2 km South of the kings pyramid.The first excavations at the site were made by Karl Lepsius, in 1843. William Flinders Petrie excavated at Hawara, in 1888, finding papyri of the 1st and 2nd centuries CE, and, north of the pyramid, a vast necropolis where he found 146 portraits on coffins dating to the Roman period, famous as being among the very few surviving examples of painted portraits from Classical Antiquity, the Fayoum portraitsThe huge mortuary temple that originally stood adjacent to this pyramid is believed to have formed the basis of the complex of buildings with galleries and courtyards called a labyrinth by Herodotus (see quote at Labyrinth), and mentioned by Strabo and Diodorus Siculus. (There is no historicity to the assertion of Diodorus Siculus that this was the model for the labyrinth of Crete that Greeks imagined housed the Minotaur,) The demolition of the labyrinth may date in part to the reign of Ptolemy II, under whom the Pharaonic city of Shedyt (Greek Crocodilopolis, the modern Medinet el-Fayum) was renamed to honour his sister-wife Arsinoë; a massive Ptolemaic building program at Arsinoe has been suggested as the ultimate destination of Middle Kingdom limestone columns and blocks removed from Hawara, and now lost.Pharaoh Sobekneferu of the Twelfth dynasty also built at the complex. Her name meant most beautiful of Sobek, the sacred crocodile.Among the discoveries made by Flinders Petrie were papyrus manuscripts, including a great papyrus scroll which contains parts of books 1 and 2 of the Iliad (the Hawara Homer of the Bodleian Library, Oxford).

Special pyramid, has interesting history and structure .Nearby area is very important and needs serious efforts of excavation.

The Hawara pyramid, built by Pharaoh Amenemhet III, was surrounded by a 385 x 158 meter wall, making it the largest burial complex in the Middle Kingdom (1800 B.C.). Built with a limestone core, adove brick exterior.It seems that in front of the pyramid entrance there was a labyrinth with two levels.

The pyramid of Hawara is one of the pyramids of Egypt. [1] It was built by the Egyptian Pharaoh, Amenemhat III, from the kings of the 12th family in the village of Hawara, 9 km southeast of the city of Faiyum. It is of mud brick covered with limestone. The original height of the pyramid was 58 meters and the length of each side was 105 meters, and now only 20 meters are left of its height. The pyramid contains corridors and many rooms, ending with the burial chamber. It contained a huge stone sarcophagus made of one piece of quartzite, weighing 110 tons. The door to the room was closed by a huge stone, which was closed by leaking sand beneath it into two small side rooms. The thieves could not enter the coffin room through this door, but they managed to reach it through a hole in the ceiling. They ransacked it and burned all the funeral furniture.Pyramid of Hawara Amenemhat III, Twelfth Dynasty Construction 1835--1807 BC Height 58 meters (190 feet) currently 20 meters Base 105 meters (344 feet) X109.12 meters (358 feet)Map of the pyramid area and its facilities.In the pyramid area there are the cemeteries of the sons of Sidra, and within it is the Izbat Raafat Sidra. There are a group of monuments, such as the tomb of Princess Nefropetah, and the cemetery is located 1.5 km before the pyramid of Hawara, about 1.5 km from the Bahr Youssef canal. It is a cemetery built of limestone, in which there is a granite sarcophagus that was transferred to the Antiquities Authority. It was found in this tomb, a table with offerings and three vessels of silver. And a necklace for Princess Nefro Ptah, daughter of King Emenemhat the Third.Next to the Hawara pyramid, there are the remains of the palace of Labyrinth (Lapernet), which was a large temple built by Emmanemhat the Third and adjacent to the pyramid and it contained 12 roofed halls. Six of them headed north and six headed south. And it has gates facing one another. The building is surrounded by a wall. The number of the buildings rooms is estimated at 300 rooms, half of which are at the bottom of the ground, containing the kings tomb and the sacred crocodile mummies, and the other half above the ground. Only some traces of the columns of the upper floor remain, and the lower floor has not been discovered so far. There are cemeteries from the Late Period. The description of the wandering palace came in a manuscript by Herodotus, the Greek historian, on the history of ancient Egypt.

The Pyramid of Hawara is one of the pyramids of Egypt. It was built by Pharaoh of Egypt, Amenemhat the Third of the 12 kings of the family in the village of Howara, 9 km southeast of the city of Fayoum. It is a clay brick covered with limestone. The original height of the pyramid was 58 meters and the length of each side was 105 meters, and it is only 20 meters from its height now. The pyramid contains vestibules and many rooms, ending with the burial chamber. He found a huge stone sarcophagus of one piece of quartzite stone, weighing up to 110 tons. The door of the room was closed by a huge stone, which fell off by leaking sand under it to two small side rooms. The thieves could not enter the sarcophagus room from this door, but were able to reach it through an opening in the ceiling, and they looted and burned its funerary furniture.

Not always open, because ground water may rise. Difficult drive to the pyramid, difficult to find a road

Open to external visit only inside the pyramid. There is ground water, so it is closed

The pyramid is a mud-brick building from the era of Amenhotep III in the Hawara area in Fayoum

Unfortunately you couldnt get into the pyramid, but it was interesting to walk around.

Very special pyramid and no tourists

Amenemhat III is in the first grade of middle school

Fantastic and mysterious place Al Fayoum Pyramid. Corridors at the level of 17 meters in the depths of the ground. The sarcophagus weighs 10 tons, covers 2.5 tons by itself and unfortunately all flooded with water from the nearby Nily canal. A maze of 1000 rooms, everything with walls. The remains of incomplete mummies sticking out of the ground. In 2006, Polish archaeologists with profA. Niwinski at the forefront, but about everything in my artillery for some time - soon .....

Hawara Pyramid is located in the village of Hawara Al-Maqta, the center and Fayoum Governorate, 9 km from the city of Fayoum. From the city of Beni Suef, 40 km. Approximately 120 km from Cairo. ApproximatelyIt was built by Pharaoh Amenemhat the Third of the Kings of the Family 12 (twelfth) and it is said that the famous Al-Tayh Palace is located next to this pyramid.

Unfortunately, thanks to the government of Egypt, the canal was built and damaged the largest two-level maze that was there. It would have been a great discovery what is on the second level.

Cairo Pyramid Joseph of Egypt

The ancient underground labyrinth discovered in Egypt contains 3,000 rooms with hieroglyphs! In the pyramid, the burial chamber is a marvel of design. The vault is a vat cut in a large block of quartzite weighing nearly one hundred and ten tons.The pyramid of Hawara is the second pyramid that Amenemhat III had built, preferring, to be buried, the first pyramid located in Dahshur.

A place that needs great efforts to highlight it and needs many services around it

It is not possible for tourists to visit from inside because of sinking in the groundwater. Unfortunately, there is no interest in the pyramid.

Ineligible place

Pyramid of Hawara More pyramids from my point of view Strange so far I have not discovered how much and did not give enough attention built mud bricks made from local clay soil.

One of the best places to visit, but lacks attention to the service side and thus the place has become marginalized unfortunately

Not much to do, the entrance to the pyramid is flooded! Very friendly hosts !! So 3 stars explain very well

The pyramid of power is beautiful, and I would advise those who have not visited Fayoum to visit it, as it is the capital of the Lechts, the central state

It is a beautiful place with great spiritual energy

Why is that short so long

It was very interesting to see.Maybe this is how we get to the mysterious Labyrinth described by Herodotus!

God willing, shake it next time

Unfortunately as there are not many tourists anymore, a little neglected ... And little known.

The first time I know about him from a relative, if in his own country, she would earn millions

An ancient place where we work studies

Jacuzzi was very good. I really enjoyed the coca parties.

Ineta no pile of stones boring!

Because it is free of restaurants and similar is only an archaeological place

You must know where to enter it

Excellent

This is something normal Balnspala because I live in Hawara section that was when the Pharaohs Tzma Juarez

Pyramid distinguishes Fayoum and represents a place of tourism and pride of Fayoum
