About Giza

Gizeh am Rand von Kairo beherbergt die Große Pyramide, die Sphinx und ein Wüstenplateau, das seit Jahrtausenden Reisende anzieht.

Auf dem Plateau stehen drei große Pyramiden, errichtet für die Pharaonen Cheops, Chephren und Mykerinos, dazu kleinere Königinnenpyramiden und Reihen von Adelsgräbern. Die Große Pyramide des Cheops ist das letzte noch stehende der Sieben Weltwunder der Antike, und die Große Sphinx hält unten Wache, aus dem Felsen neben dem Taltempel des Chephren gehauen.
