Visit Giza, Egypt
Jump to:
More than any other monument, the Pyramids of Giza symbolize the mystic appeal that Egypt has exerted over travelers for so many millennia.
The instantly recognized tableau of the Great Pyramid of Cheops, the Pyramid of Chephr, and the smaller, flanking Pyramid of Mycerinus dominates the Giza skyline, sitting on the fringes of the ever-expanding city, facing urban streets to the north and east, and staring south and west over the endless desert sands.
The Sphinx
Sentinel to the pyramids, the Sphinx sits in enigmatic splendor, nursing a beard trimmed by Mamluke and Napoleonic target practice.
Around Giza
Beyond Giza lie the pyramid fields of Saqqara and Dahshur where the development of pyramid building can be traced through early attempts at their construction, and the ancient city of Memphis, the first capital of a unified Egypt.
