During the rise of ancient Egyptian civilization around 2600 BC, several remarkable structures were built, including the three great pyramids, the Sphinx, and many others.
The Great Pyramid of King Khufu, built between 2580 BC and 2560 BC with the effort of 100,000 workers and 2.3 million limestone blocks, stands as the sole surviving intact wonder of the ancient world, reaching a height of 147 meters.
The magnificent Great Sphinx, crafted during the reign of Pharaoh Khafre (2532 BC – 2258 BC), continuously stands watch. It was designed to resemble the pharaoh and the mythical creature known as the Sphinx. Carved from a single block of limestone, it measures 19 meters (66 feet) in width and 73 meters (240 feet) in length.
The mortuary valley temple, located within the Giza Plateau, served as the central site for the mummification process and was considered the key to immortality since Egypt's Old Kingdom (2686-2134 BC).
The Grand Egyptian Museum serves as a magnificent gateway to the extraordinary ancient Egyptian achievements in cosmic intelligence, developed over 5,000 years of uninterrupted innovation and rich artistic expression. This vast marvel offers a unique 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 Senusert, The Grand Staircase, Statues of Ptolemaic Kings and Queens, The Victory Column of King Merenptah, The Majestic Royal Regalia, and the Grand Atrium & Gift Shop.

Commonly referred to as the Cairo Citadel, it was constructed in 1182 AD by Salah el-Din as a defensive stronghold against foreign invaders. Until 1860 AD, it also served as the seat of government. The complex now contains several museums and art exhibitions.
