Regarded by many as the greatest monument ever constructed in human history, the Pyramid of King Khufu was built in 2580 BC to serve as his eternal tomb. It later became known as one of the legendary Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. You will marvel at an architectural masterpiece standing 147 meters tall, composed of 2.3 million limestone blocks and built by over 100,000 workers.
The Great Sphinx, one of the most remarkable and ancient statues ever displayed in history, was created during the Old Kingdom period (2686 – 2134 BC). It depicts a mythical creature with the head and facial features of a man and the body of a lion, measuring 73 meters in height and 19 meters in width.
If you wish to experience a glimpse of immortality, visit the valley temple from the Old Kingdom, where the mummification process was carried out on the bodies of esteemed kings and queens. It provides valuable insights into the mortuary rituals of ancient Egypt.
The Grand Egyptian Museum serves as a magnificent gateway to the extraordinary ancient Egyptian achievements, reflecting 5000 years of uninterrupted innovation and vibrant artistic creativity. Inside this monumental marvel lies a unique opportunity to explore some of the most remarkable archaeological monuments and artifacts ever uncovered, including:
