About Giza

Giza, ai margini del Cairo, ospita la Grande Piramide, la Sfinge e un altopiano desertico che attira viaggiatori da millenni.

L'altopiano ospita tre grandi piramidi, costruite per i faraoni Cheope, Chefren e Micerino, insieme a piramidi minori delle regine e a file di tombe di nobili. La Grande Piramide di Cheope è l'ultima delle Sette Meraviglie del mondo antico ancora in piedi, e la Grande Sfinge veglia più in basso, scolpita nella roccia accanto al tempio a valle di Chefren.

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