Pyramids of Giza Standing proudly on the Giza Plateau just outside of Cairo, the Pyramids of Giza are the ultimate symbol of ancient Egypt. Built during the Old Kingdom (c. 2600–2500 BC), this awe-inspiring UNESCO World Heritage site is a must-see for anyone visiting the Land of the Pharaohs.
Whether you want to explore the inner chambers of the tombs or take a panoramic camel ride across the desert sands, experiencing the Pyramids is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
The Key Pyramids & Attractions
The Giza Complex is much more than just a single monument. During your visit, you will explore a massive royal burial ground that includes:
The Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops): The oldest, largest, and only surviving structure of the original Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
The Pyramid of Khafre (Chephren): Built by Khufu's son, this is the middle pyramid and uniquely retains some of its original polished limestone casing at the very peak.
The Pyramid of Menkaure (Mykerinus): The smallest of the three main pyramids, featuring beautiful granite blocks at its base.
The Great Sphinx: The legendary guardian of the plateau, featuring the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh, carved entirely from a single massive piece of limestone.
The Valley Temples & Causeways: The ancient pathways and mummification temples where royal ceremonies took place before the pharaohs were laid to rest.
