About Giza

Giza, i utkanten av Kairo, har Keopspyramiden, Sfinksen og et ørkenplatå som har trukket reisende i tusenvis av år.

Platået rommer tre store pyramider, bygget for faraoene Keops, Khafre og Menkaure, sammen med mindre dronningpyramider og rader av adelsmenns graver. Keopspyramiden er den siste av oldtidens sju underverker som fortsatt står, og Den store sfinksen vokter nedenfor, hogd ut av grunnfjellet ved siden av Khafres dalstempel.

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