Imagine a monumental artwork from 2600 BC featuring several renowned wonders that have endured for over three thousand years, including the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the iconic Sphinx, the Valley Temple, the two impressive pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure, along with other hidden marvels.
One of Cairo's main highlights is the Great Pyramid of Giza, constructed as the tomb of King Khufu. This extraordinary monumental structure consists of 2.3 million limestone blocks, each weighing approximately 2.5 tons, and stands 147 meters tall. Built around 2580 BC, it is recognized as the only surviving wonder of the ancient world.
The Sphinx, known as the "Horus of the Horizon," is the oldest statue ever created. It was carved during the reign of Khafre and features the head and facial expression of a man combined with the body of a lion. Measuring 73 meters in length and 19 meters in width, it demonstrates the enduring artistic mastery of the ancient Egyptians.
One of the most important and remarkable monuments constructed during the Old Kingdom (2686 – 2134 BC) is the Valley Temple, the center of mummification where the souls of ancient Egyptians were preserved until the afterlife.
The Grand Egyptian Museum serves as a magnificent gateway to the extraordinary ancient Egyptian achievements, showcasing 5,000 years of continuous innovation and rich artistic expression. This monumental institution offers a unique opportunity to explore some of the most remarkable archaeological monuments and artifacts ever uncovered, including:
The Hanging Obelisk, Statue of King Ramses II, The Ten Statues of King Senusert, The Grand Staircase, Statues of Ptolemaic Kings and Queens, The Victory Column of King Merneptah, The magnificent Royal Regalia, and the Grand Atrium with Gift Shop.
