About Giza

Giza, on the edge of Cairo, is home to the Great Pyramid, the Sphinx and a desert plateau that has drawn travellers for thousands of years.

The plateau holds three great pyramids, built for the pharaohs Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure, along with smaller queens' pyramids and rows of nobles' tombs. The Great Pyramid of Khufu is the last of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still standing, and the Great Sphinx keeps watch below, carved from the bedrock beside Khafre's valley temple.

Top-ranked sights in Giza: Sphinx (Great Sphinx of Giza), Giza Pyramids, Great Pyramid of Giza (Khufu Pyramid).
