3. The Great Sphinx of Giza is a limestone statue of a reclining sphinx, a mythical creature with the head of a human, and the body of a lion. Facing directly from west to east, it stands on the Giza Plateau on the west bank of the Nile in Giza, Egypt. The face of the Sphinx appears to represent the pharaoh Khafre. The original shape of the Sphinx was cut from the bedrock, and has since been restored with layers of limestone blocks.[3] It measures 73 m (240 ft) long from paw to tail, 20 m (66 ft) high from the base to the top of the head and 19 m (62 ft) wide at its rear haunches.[4] Its nose was broken off for unknown reasons between the 3rd and 10th centuries AD. The Sphinx is the oldest known monumental sculpture in Egypt and one of the most recognizable statues in the world. The archaeological evidence suggests that it was created by ancient Egyptians of the Old Kingdom during the reign of Khafre.

About Hurghada

Hurghada, station de la mer Rouge sur la côte égyptienne, séduit par ses récifs, son eau chaude, ses excursions dans le désert et ses plages.

La ville s'étire le long du rivage, du vieux quartier d'El Dahar, avec son souk et son marché au poisson, à la marina de Sakkala et à la bande hôtelière au sud. Au large, les récifs et les îles de la mer Rouge regorgent de poissons colorés et de jardins de corail, et l'on aperçoit parfois des dauphins, ce qui fait de la plongée avec masque et de la plongée sous-marine les principaux attraits.
