It features the iconic three Great Pyramids, six smaller pyramids, the majestic Great Sphinx—the guardian of Egypt—and the timeless Valley Temple, all offering an unparalleled experience of wonder and fascination.
The Great Pyramid of Pharaoh Khufu (2589–2566 BC) was completed in 2850 BC as his final resting place. Designed by Henumiu, it stood as the tallest pyramid for 3,800 years, measuring 138.5 meters (454.4 ft) in height. This monumental structure was built with the assistance of 400,000 skilled laborers who placed 2.3 million limestone blocks, aligning the pyramid with the four cardinal points.
The celestial Sphinx of Pharaoh Khafre (2558 – 2532 BC) stands as the most magnificent and well-preserved man-made monument, measuring 20 meters (66 ft) in height, 73 meters (240 ft) in length, and 19 meters (62 ft) in width, featuring his face carved onto a majestic lion statue symbolizing wisdom and strength.
The Valley Temple is a remarkably well-preserved archaeological site, recognized as essential for achieving immortality in the 4th dynasty through the mummification ritual known as the Opening of the Mouth ceremony.
The Grand Egyptian Museum serves as a magnificent gateway to the extraordinary ancient Egyptian masterpieces, reflecting 5,000 years of continuous innovation and remarkable artistic vision. This monumental institution offers a unique opportunity to explore some of the most significant archaeological monuments and artifacts ever discovered, including:
