About Gizeh

Gizeh, aan de rand van Caïro, herbergt de Grote Piramide, de Sfinx en een woestijnplateau dat al duizenden jaren reizigers aantrekt.

Op het plateau staan drie grote piramiden, gebouwd voor de farao's Choefoe, Chefren en Menkaoere, samen met kleinere koninginnenpiramiden en rijen graven van edelen. De Grote Piramide van Choefoe is het laatste nog bestaande van de Zeven Wereldwonderen van de Oudheid, en de Grote Sfinx waakt eronder, uitgehouwen uit de rotsbodem naast de dal-tempel van Chefren.
