About Giza

Giza, i utkanten av Kairo, rymmer Cheopspyramiden, sfinxen och en ökenplatå som lockat resenärer i tusentals år.

Platån rymmer tre stora pyramider, byggda för faraonerna Cheops, Chefren och Mykerinos, tillsammans med mindre drottningpyramider och rader av adelsmäns gravar. Cheopspyramiden är det enda kvarvarande av antikens sju underverk, och Stora sfinxen vaktar nedanför, huggen ur berggrunden bredvid Chefrens dalatempel.

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