Itinerario

1. The Pyramids of Giza are among the most iconic and ancient wonders of the world. Located on the outskirts of Cairo, Egypt, they consist of three main pyramids: the Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops), the Pyramid of Khafre (Chephren), and the Pyramid of Menkaure (Mycerinus). These colossal structures were built as tombs for the pharaohs and are characterized by their massive limestone blocks and precise construction. The Great Pyramid of Khufu is the largest and was the tallest man-made structure for over 3,800 years

2. The Great Sphinx is a monumental limestone statue located at the Giza Plateau, near Cairo, Egypt. It depicts a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human, believed by some to represent the Pharaoh Khafre. It measures about 73 meters (240 feet) long and stands 20 meters (66 feet) tall. Its precise construction and enigmatic expression have fascinated scholars and visitors for centuries. The Sphinx is thought to have been built during the reign of Khafre, around 2500 BC, making it one of the oldest and largest sculptures in the world. Despite erosion and damage over millennia, the Sphinx remains an enduring symbol of ancient Egypt's grandeur and mystery.

About Cairo

Il Cairo, vasta capitale egiziana sul Nilo, dove le piramidi di Giza incontrano moschee medievali, bazar affollati e tesori dei faraoni.

Al margine occidentale della città, le piramidi di Giza e la Grande Sfinge si innalzano dall'altopiano desertico, con la piramide a gradoni di Saqqara e le rovine di Menfi più a sud. I grandi musei del Cairo, il Museo Egizio in piazza Tahrir e il vasto Grande Museo Egizio accanto all'altopiano, custodiscono reperti che coprono migliaia di anni.

Top-ranked sights in Cairo: Egyptian Museum (Museum of Egyptian Antiquities), Saqqara (Sakkara), Khan El-Khalili.
