Giza Pyramids Excursion
The pyramid field of Giza has been an important cemetery since the 1st dynasty, which were built between 2620 and 2500 BC. The Pyramids of Giza are among the most famous and oldest preserved structures of mankind and stand on the western edge of the Nile Valley. The largest and probably most famous pyramid is that of Pharaoh Cheops. It was built from around three million stone blocks. The middle pyramid is that of Pharaoh Chephren, the smallest of the three pyramids of Giza is that of Pharaoh Mykerinos. Let yourself be impressed by these overwhelming buildings and enjoy a fantastic view
of Cairo from the plateau. Afterwards we continue to the famous Sphinx.
Sphinx Of Giza
is by far the most famous and largest Sphinx and represents a reclining lion with a man's head and was probably built in the 4 dynasty around 2520 to 2494 BC. It has been towering out of the sands of the Egyptian desert for more than four millennia. The Sphinx was carved out of the remains of a limestone hill that served as a quarry for the Pyramid of Cheops.
After all these impressive impressions, we will start
our journey back home to Hurghada and bring her back to her hotel.
