The magnificent Giza Pyramids Complex is a renowned necropolis that provides valuable insight into the heritage of the world's oldest civilization, dating back to 2600 BC.
The revered Great Pyramid served as Khufu's Horizon, functioning as his final resting place. Constructed around 2570 BC, it became the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and remained the tallest structure globally from 2600 BC to 1311 AD, reaching a height of 147 meters (481 feet). The pyramid houses the Grand Gallery, Queen's Chamber, and King's Chamber, all designed by Khufu's vizier, Hemiunu.
The Mythical Sphinx is regarded as the most iconic man-made statue in history and stands as one of the oldest monumental sculptures worldwide. This impressive structure was carved from limestone, featuring the face of Khafre (2558–2532 BC) and the body of a mythical lion. Beneath its paws lies the Dream Stele of Pharaoh Thutmose IV (1401–1391 BC), symbolizing the legendary Horus of the Horizon.
The Valley Temple is one of the best-preserved archaeological structures of its type, where the royal families of the 4th dynasty underwent mummification and purification rituals, including the ceremony known as the Opening of the Mouth, to safeguard and immortalize them.
The Grand Egyptian Museum serves as a magnificent gateway to the extraordinary achievements of ancient Egyptian civilization, showcasing 5,000 years of continuous innovation and remarkable artistic creativity. Inside this monumental museum lies a unique opportunity to explore some of the most outstanding archaeological monuments and artifacts ever discovered, 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 magnificent Royal Regalia, and the Grand Atrium & Gift Shop.
