About Gizé

Gizé, nos arredores do Cairo, alberga a Grande Pirâmide, a Esfinge e um planalto desértico que atrai viajantes há milénios.

O planalto reúne três grandes pirâmides, construídas para os faraós Quéops, Quéfren e Miquerinos, juntamente com pirâmides menores de rainhas e fileiras de túmulos de nobres. A Grande Pirâmide de Quéops é a última das Sete Maravilhas do Mundo Antigo ainda de pé, e a Grande Esfinge vigia lá em baixo, esculpida na rocha junto ao templo do vale de Quéfren.
