Looks like a stair case doesn't it? But it is actually the interior of the Red Pyramid in Dashur.
Here is another view.
The writing on the right side of the picture is graffiti (probably candle smoke from the 1800's) on the inside. The pyramids at Giza were amazing, but overall, I enjoyed our visit to Dashur more. The pyramid is imposing and more grand looking on the landscape, and the interior is this awesome corbled vault. It was less crowded: at Giza there were a couple hundred tourists and double that many people trying to sell us things. Here there were a few other people and, oddly, only one person trying to sell anything, and he was asleep. (That happened a lot during Ramadan). It was also a fun place to go, driving over the Egyptian country side and seeing the villages and farms. The only downside was the smell, which was worse than the NYC subway.
