Giza Pyramids / Valley Temple / The Sphinx / Egyptian Museum
Pyramids of Giza - The last remaining wonder of the ancient world. For nearly 4000 years, the extraordinary shape, impeccable geometry, and sheer size of the Giza Pyramids have prompted the obvious questions: ‘How were they built, and why?’. Centuries of research have provided parts of the answer. Built as massive tombs on the orders of the pharaohs, they were constructed by teams of workers tens-of-thousands strong. Today, they stand as an awe-inspiring tribute to the might, organization, and achievements of ancient Egypt. Then visit the valley temple and the Sphinx.
The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities - This museum contains many important pieces of ancient Egyptian history and houses the world’s largest collection of Pharaonic antiquities, including many treasures from the tomb of King Tutankhamen.
