The pyramids of Giza, Cairo, are one of Cairo’s most important tourist attractions in 3 Days In Cairo. They are located on the Giza Plateau in Giza Governorate, on the western bank of the Nile River.

The hierarchical construction here is the stage of development of tomb architecture in ancient Egypt, then we will continue your 3 Days in Cairo by visitingThe Great Pyramid
The first pyramid in the three pyramids is the Great Pyramid, which is known as the pyramid of King Khufu and is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The summit reached by the development of architecture in the Old Kingdom is represented in the Great Pyramid that Khufu built in Giza, which was built by the minister (Hamm Iuno), the king’s cousin, and by virtue of his position supervising the king’s work. The construction of this pyramid required the use of more than two million blocks of limestone, some of which weigh up to 15 tons, which were extracted from quarries close to the area. As for the stones that were used in the outer cladding, they are smoother and purer stones. The pyramid of Khufu was built on an area of 12 acres and reached a height of 146 meters, while the height of the pyramid of Djoser was 60 meters, then we will move to proceed your 3 days in Cairo TourThe Great Sphinx
Colossal statues are one of the defining features of ancient Egyptian civilization, and the Great Sphinx of Giza is the most famous of them. The statue was carved in the rock of the same area in the era of the Fourth Dynasty (about 2613-2494 BC), which makes it the oldest. The ancient Egyptian sphinxes represented the king with the body of a lion as a clear indication of his power. Evidence indicates that the Great Sphinx was carved during the reign of King Khafra (circa 2558 – 2532 BC), the owner of the second pyramid of Giza. The Great Sphinx and its temple in front of it are located directly next to the Temple of Khafre Valley and the lower part of the ascending road leading to its mortuary temple and the pyramid. Careful archaeological analysis revealed that the Valley Temple was finished before work began on the Great Sphinx and its temple, while analysis of the Sphinx’s facial features revealed striking similarities with the statues of King Khafra. The Great Sphinx has captured the imagination of travelers and explorers for thousands of years.The Valley Temple
