The Pyramids of Giza:
The Giza Pyramids are a cluster of enormous tombs dates back more than 4,500 years when they were established for the three prominent pharaohs: Cheops, Chefren, and Mycerinus. They stood for thousands of years as the largest man-made constructions and served as pearly tombs for the Old Kingdom Significant pharaohs.
Among of the three towering pyramids, Cheops, is the oldest pyramid at Giza Plateau which is dedicated to King Khufu, the second ruler of Egypt's 4th dynasty. The Great Pyramid is a majestic engineering miracle, founded between 2600 and 2560 BC to be the resting place for the king and his family members. Standing 455 feet tall, the pyramid houses the Khufu's sarcophagus, his possessions and treasures in three known chambers inside the structure.
Located in the heart of Giza Necropolis, the legendary Sphinx is the most massive sculpture which was carved during Pharaoh Khafre's reign around 2500 BC from a single limestone bedrock. It was given its name "Sphinx" by the ancient Greeks as it represented their mythical monster with a man's head on the body of a lion.
The Valley Temple:
As a part of the treasures of the Giza Necropolis, the Valley Temple is mortuary site and the finest proof of how great the 4th dynasty affected the ancient Egyptian civilization. It attributes to Pharaoh Khafre (Chephren) and it was utilized as a royal pre-burial site for the pharaohs' bodies to be mummified before it were transported to the pyramid for burial.
Let's have your lunch at a fine restaurant then you to move to visit:
Saqqara Step Pyramid:
Built by Imhotep, the first recognized architect in history - during the rule of Pharaoh Djoser, in the third dynasty around 2630 BC, Saqqara is the oldest and first ever pyramid structure in the pharaoh's funerary complex. The Step Pyramid measures 140 meters in length, 118 meters in width and 60 meters in height which constructed from six mastabas, rectangular structures with flat roofs stacked on top of each other to create a stepped pyramid.
