Rising from the desert sands of Giza, the majestic pyramids were built as royal tombs around 2500 BCE during Egypt’s Fourth Dynasty. Much about their construction and inner chambers remains a mystery. These grand monuments—symbols of the pharaohs’ divine power—remain one of Egypt’s most iconic sights.
On the left stands the Great Pyramid of Khufu—the first built in Giza and the largest in the world. To the right is Khafre’s pyramid, guarded by the Great Sphinx, said to resemble the king himself. As you take in these timeless structures, feel the awe of 4,500 years of history echoing through the desert air.
