The magnificent Giza Pyramids Complex, built around 2600 BC, serves as an eternal monument for the members of the 4th dynasty, designed to elevate them to the heavens and ensure their names endure through time.
The Great Pyramid is the sole surviving structure among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It served as the final tomb for Pharaoh Khufu (2609 BC - 2584 BC), who commissioned the chief architect Hemiunu to design this monumental masterpiece, standing 138.5 meters (454.4 ft) tall. Constructed from 2.3 million limestone blocks, the pyramid weighs a total of six million tons. Features such as the Grand Gallery, King’s Chamber, and Queen’s Chamber showcase the exceptional architectural expertise involved in its creation.
The iconic Sphinx is a magnificent symbol of glory and excellence, serving as the divine guardian of the grand lands of Giza, home to some of the greatest architectural achievements in history. King Khafre (2558–2532 BC) crafted this extraordinary sculpture by combining his own facial likeness with the body of a massive prehistoric lion. Among the most notable artifacts associated with the Sphinx is the Dream Stele of Thutmose IV, erected in 1401 BC, which depicts his encounter with this legendary creature.
The centerpiece of the Immortal's Valley temple is a well-preserved marvel constructed during the Old Kingdom by the 4th Dynasty, designed to carry out the mummification procedure known as the Opening of the Mouth ritual.
The Grand Egyptian Museum serves as a magnificent gateway to the extraordinary ancient Egyptian achievements, representing 5,000 years of continuous innovation and remarkable artistic creativity. This monumental institution offers a unique opportunity to explore some of the most significant archaeological monuments and artifacts ever discovered, including:
