The Giza Pyramids Complex, the most remarkable archaeological site in human history, dates back over 4,500 years to the Old Kingdom period around 2600 BC.
The Great Pyramid was constructed as the eternal tomb for King Khufu around 2570 BC during the 4th Dynasty. It remained the tallest man-made structure from 2600 BC until 1311 AD, reaching a height of 146.6 meters (481 feet). The pyramid was designed by his vizier, Hemiunu, and features several chambers including the Queen’s Chamber, a grand hall, and the King’s Chamber.
The Sphinx, known as Horus of The Horizon, is a magnificent mythical monument originating from the reign of Khafre (2558–2532 BC). It features his face and between its paws lies the remarkable Dream Stele of Pharaoh Thutmose IV (1397–1388 BC), which has inspired numerous legendary stories and myths.
The divine and sacred Valley Temple, one of Egypt's best-preserved and most remarkable archaeological sites, was used by Khafre as a center for purification and to conduct the "opening of the mouth" ceremony, a key part of the mummification process.
The Grand Egyptian Museum serves as a magnificent gateway to the extraordinary ancient Egyptian achievements of celestial wisdom, developed over 5,000 years of ongoing innovation and vibrant artistic expression. Inside this monumental marvel lies a rare opportunity to explore some of the most remarkable archaeological monuments and artifacts ever created, including:
The Hanging Obelisk, Statue of King Ramses II, The Ten Statues of King Senusret, The Grand Staircase, Statues of Ptolemaic Kings and Queens, The Victory Column of King Merneptah, The Majestic Royal Regalia, and the Grand Atrium & Gift Shop.
