Giza

The Giza Plateau is home to the last surviving wonder of the ancient world - the Great Pyramids. Built over 4,500 years ago, these colossal monuments continue to inspire awe and mystery. The Great Pyramid of Khufu was the tallest man-made structure for over 3,800 years. Standing guard over these ancient tombs is the Great Sphinx, a massive limestone statue with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh. Modern Giza has grown around these ancient wonders, creating a unique juxtaposition of ancient and contemporary Egypt. Exploring the pyramids offers not just a glimpse into ancient engineering marvels, but also insight into the beliefs, culture, and ambitions of ancient Egyptian civilization.
