The legendary Giza Pyramids Complex, dating back to 2700 BC, is a living symbol of the grandeur of the ancient Egyptian civilization and includes:
The Great Pyramid of Pharaoh Khufu, built in 2570 BC under the 4th dynasty, rises to 147 m. Designed by his vizier Hemiunu, it was constructed from 2.3 million limestone blocks by 400,000 skilled workers, making it the last surviving wonder of the ancient world. Inside are the King’s Chamber, the Queen’s Chamber, the Grand Gallery, and more.
The Sphinx, known as Horus of the Horizon, is a colossal guardian statue carved from a single limestone block. Built for Pharaoh Khafre (2558–2532 BC), it represents wisdom and strength and features the Dream Stele of Thutmose IV placed between its paws in 1401 BC.
The Valley Temple, constructed in 2600 BC, served as the site for mummification and purification rituals of the 4th dynasty’s royal family, closely linked with the pyramids of Giza.
The Grand Egyptian Museum offers an unparalleled journey through 5,000 years of history, displaying priceless artifacts and monuments of ancient Egypt, including:
The Hanging Obelisk, the colossal statue of Ramses II, the statues of King Senusert, the Grand Staircase, the Ptolemaic royal statues, the Victory Column of Merneptah, the Royal Regalia, and the impressive Grand Atrium and Gift Hall.

Al-Muizz Street, founded in the 10th century AD, is one of Cairo’s cultural gems. Located near the historic Khan El Khalili Bazaar, it is a living open-air museum of Islamic architecture and heritage, reflecting the golden era of medieval Egypt.
