The Giza Pyramids Complex

This place was like a time capsule that preserved the essence of the Ancient Egyptians for 4000 years. The Giza complex is surrounded by three large, the most grandiose, pyramids and six little ones, with the grand sphinx and the valley temple.


The Great Pyramid

The Great Pyramid, built in 2570 BC, is a remarkable stone structure of 2 million tones. It was completed in just 15 years and is still considered one of the original Seven Wonders of the World. Well-preserved over centuries, it stands at 146.6 meters (481 feet) and is the heaviest object in the world, weighing about 6 million units. It features an impressive King’s Chamber.

The Giza Sphinx

The Great Sphinx in Horus of the Horizon was created by Pharaoh Khafre between 2558 and 2532 BC. Modeled after a lion, the Sphinx symbolizes divinity and is a guardian of immortality. Its unique characteristics are highlighted by its connection to the Dream Stele of Thutmose IV.

The Valley Temple

A Valley Temple is one such type of building situated in a river or stream valley.

The mummification process to achieve eternal life, more appropriately known today as the opening of the mouth ritual, was a ritual focused on life's eternal core. It was built during the Egyptian Old Kingdom (2686 - 2134 BC) when it was included among the constructions of King Khafre. The valley is in perfect shape and provides incredible information about how the Ancient Egyptians buried their dead.

The Grand Egyptian Museum

This is one of the most significant achievements of ancient Egypt, which became possible through what, each time and over several new generations, had a fresh perspective on it thanks to constant inspiration from the things of this civilization.The text presents three fundamentally different archaeological complexes: the Hanging Obelisk, King Ramses II Statue, the 10 Statues of King Senusert, the Grand Staircase, and the Statues of Ptolemaic Monarchs. It also details the Victory Column of King Mercnptah, the Royal Regalia, and the Grand Atrium & Gift Shop.
