The Great Sphinx

After finishing the visit to the Giza Pyramids, you will head to visit the Great Sphinx statue which is one of the largest statues in the world carved from a single piece and was sculpted with the body of a lion and the head of a human. It was built by the pharaohs in the Old Kingdom era to be a symbol of power and wisdom and perhaps a guardian of the tombs and the Egyptian pyramids. Most historians have stated that the Sphinx dates back to the era of King Khafre due to the similarity in features.

The Valley Temple

After that, you will head to visit the Valley Temple which belongs to King Khafre. It is the temple which was built by the ancient Egyptians near the pyramids and connected to them by an ascending causeway. It was built in the era of Pharaoh Khafre, not Sneferu and the purpose of its construction was to be a place to perform the funerary rituals for the king and mummifying him before transferring him for burial in his own pyramid. Therefore, it is one of the most famous types of temples among the ancient Egyptians because they practiced religious burial rituals in it which clarifies an aspect of their view about the afterlife and their preparation for it.
