This is the greatest feat of human engineering in history, constructed approximately between 2550 and 2490 B.C., featuring three of the most iconic Egyptian pyramids. The ancient pharaohs of the 4th dynasty commissioned these monumental structures as burial sites for prominent kings, housing their mummies along with valuable treasures intended for the afterlife.
The Great Pyramid, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, is the largest and most enduring pyramid in history, built for King Khufu (2609 BC - 2584 BC). This remarkable structure rises over 480 feet and is composed of 2.3 million stone blocks.
The Sphinx is a monumental ancient statue associated with Pharaoh Chephren, constructed around 2500 BC. Most archaeologists agree that the sculpture’s head represents the king. This remarkable structure features a pharaoh’s head and a lion’s body, symbolizing its original purpose to protect the key sites on the Giza Plateau.
The enormous structure, composed of massive granite blocks and built by King Khafre, primarily served as a funerary temple for worship and as a center for mummification rituals, including the Opening of the Mouth ceremony performed on the kings and nobles of the 4th dynasty.
The Grand Egyptian Museum serves as a magnificent gateway to the extraordinary ancient Egyptian achievements, reflecting 5,000 years of ongoing innovation and vibrant artistic creativity. This monumental site 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 & Gift Exhibition.

The Temple of Hatshepsut, dating back to 1479 B.C., stands as the most impressive testament to Queen Hatshepsut's reign, which saw significant advancements in trade, architecture, and more.

The Abydos Temple is dedicated to Seti I and is therefore known as "The Temple of Seti I." This grand limestone structure originally featured seven gateways.
