The Giza pyramid complex (also called the Giza necropolis) in Egypt is home to the Great Pyramid, the pyramid of Khafre, and the pyramid of Menkaure, along with their associated pyramid complexes and the Great Sphinx. All were built during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom of ancient Egypt, between c. 2600 – c. 2500 BC. The site also includes several temples, cemeteries, and the remains of a workers' village.
Marvel at the only surviving Wonder of the Ancient World. Built over 4,500 years ago, this colossal structure stands at 146 meters tall (originally) and was the tallest man-made structure on Earth for millennia. Your guide will explain its intricate construction, astronomical alignment, and the theories behind its purpose. Optional: If you're feeling adventurous, you may purchase a separate ticket to enter the Great Pyramid's internal chambers.
