About Giza

Giza, i udkanten af Kairo, har Keopspyramiden, Sfinksen og et ørkenplateau, der har tiltrukket rejsende i tusinder af år.

Plateauet rummer tre store pyramider, bygget til faraoerne Keops, Khafre og Menkaure, sammen med mindre dronningepyramider og rækker af adelsmænds grave. Keopspyramiden er den sidste af oldtidens syv vidundere, der stadig står, og Den Store Sfinks holder vagt nedenfor, udhugget af grundfjeldet ved siden af Khafres dalstempel.
