2. Discover the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the largest and most well-preserved pyramid in Egypt. This ancient wonder was once included in the "Seven Wonders of the Ancient World" and remains the only one standing today. Built from limestone, it features 1,300,000 blocks weighing between 2.5 and 15 tons, and covers a base of 13 acres. Its sides measure approximately 230 meters (755 feet) and are angled at precisely 52 degrees, with each side facing a cardinal point. For 4300 years, it held the title of the world's tallest building until the construction of the Eiffel Tower in 1889.

3. The 2nd Pyramid, also known as Khafre's Pyramid, is distinctive with its layers of original casing stones near the top. Standing on a higher part of the plateau, it appears taller than the Great Pyramid, but it is actually only 136m (446ft) tall with sides of 214.5m (704ft), an angle of 53 degrees, and a surface area of 11 acres. Over time, it has lost some of its original height, previously standing at 143.5m (471ft).

4. The Great Sphinx, also known as "Shesep Ankh" or "the living image" to the ancient Egyptians, is an iconic monument that has become synonymous with Egypt and the Giza Plateau. Carved from soft sandstone, the Sphinx would have likely eroded away long ago if it hadn't been buried in sand for extended periods of time. The body of the Sphinx measures 60m (200ft) in length and 20m (65ft) in height, while its face is 4m (13ft) wide with eyes that are 2m (6ft) in height. Facing towards the rising sun, the Sphinx was held in such high regard by the ancient Egyptians that they constructed a temple in front of it.

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.
