The Great Pyramid of Khufu:

The Great Pyramid of Khufu, or Pyramid of Cheops, is the largest and most famous pyramid in Giza. This marvelous structure was established as a tomb for Pharaoh Khufu and originally stood at 146.6 meters, though it now stands slightly shorter because of the loss of the outer casing stones.

Comprising approximately 2.3 million blocks of limestone, the pyramid was the highest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years and is still a symbol of ancient Egyptian engineering prowess and creativity.

The Great Sphinx:

The Great Sphinx on the Giza Plateau is a colossal limestone statue with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh, thought to represent Pharaoh Khafre. It measures 73 meters in length and 20 meters in height.

The Sphinx is one of the largest and oldest statues in the world. It is believed to guard the Giza Pyramids and has been a reason for mystery and fascination, with many legends and theories about its origins and purpose.

The Valley Temple:

The Valley Temple is part of the Pyramid of Khafre's complex near the Great Sphinx. This temple has been well-preserved by the desert sands for years, and it was used for the mummification process and other funerary rituals for the Pharaohs.

This temple was constructed from massive limestone and granite blocks. The temple's design includes a causeway leading to the pyramid, which was called the procession, and a series of halls and rooms. The temple is distinguished with its architectural sophistication and the discovery of statues of Khafre.
