Great Sphinx and Pyramids at Giza

Giza Pyramids and shinx

What hasn’t been said about the Great Pyramids of Giza? The ancient structures have beguiled the world’s thoughts and imaginations for thousands of years. The great tombs of the Pharaohs have been coveted and admired by millions, from Julius Caesar to Napoleon and countless more. With the great pyramid of Khufu standing at 137 metres tall, its title of “Great” doesn’t disappoint.

Also in Giza is the equally iconic Sphinx, which is the oldest sculpture in Egypt. Today, you can bask in the wonder of these titanic monuments with a relaxing camel ride around Giza, with a slow pace to let the feeling of experiencing a wonder of the ancient world sink in.

Nothing matches the uniqueness of the Great Sphinx. The original name is "Shesep Ankh" meaning the Living image of God. the head of a human and body of a cat represents the human wisdom and cat's power.

The Great Pyramid of Giza (also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or the Pyramid of Cheops) is the oldest and largest of the pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex bordering present-day Giza in Greater Cairo, Egypt. It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one to remain largely intact.

 Egyptologists conclude that the pyramid was built as a tomb for the Fourth Dynasty Egyptian pharaoh Khufu and estimate that it took around 40 years to build, with hundreds of thousands participated to build it, being completed circa 2560 BC.
