Giza Pyramids & the Great Sphinx

Built more than 4,500 years ago, the three pyramids of Giza and the colossal limestone Sphinx form the most iconic skyline in all of Egypt. The Great Pyramid of Khufu remained the tallest human-made structure on Earth for nearly four millennia. Standing at their base, with the Sphinx gazing east toward the rising sun, you grasp the sheer scale of pharaonic ambition.
