The Dahshur SfM (2021-2022) project spanned nearly half a year, during which I was privileged to work on two large-scale archaeological research sites, creating comprehensive digital records. My focus was on 3D documentation, using Structure from Motion (SfM) Photogrammetry to capture the Causeway Monument and the Cult Chapel, as well as dozens of smaller monuments and artifacts, such as beer jars and statues, near the Red Pyramid in Egypt.
Excavation and making a photogrammetry of a big scaled Structure in desert required detailed planning and preparation. My role also involved partially managing a team of over 90 people to choreograph the photogrammetry work, while navigating the challenges of the desert environment, including unpredictable weather, sandstorms, and the fragile nature of the monuments.
Coordinated team work and efficient planning were essential to meet tight deadlines and ensure the long-term preservation of the documented structures, which were reburied/covered under sand for conservation.

My heartfelt thanks go to the local teams, authorities, and the German Archaeological Institute (DAI) in Cairo for allowing me to contribute to this remarkable project.
