This landmark has defied the test of time for over 4,500 years since the reign of 2600 BC, where the golden history of the Old Kingdom is visible in its most epic way. At the core of this landmark stands the Great Pyramid, the majestic support tower for Khufu's Horizon and the most spectacular archaeological site ever developed. Built in the reign of Khufu in the year 2570 BC, it remains the solitary surviving wonder in the ancient world, measuring a staggering height of 147m designed specifically as a final resting place for the royalty.
The adventure does not end as you meet the Unbelievable Sphinx of Giza, an amazing mythical work of art created from a gigantic chunk of limestone. This golden monument is a combination of the face of King Khafre and that of a lion, raising questions that have puzzled the whole world for centuries. Next to it is the Valley Temple, the heavenly abode of the immortal created by Khafre to pay homage to the bodies of the kings of the 4th Dynasty. This is the place of the sacred Mummification process, constructed using blessed granite that holds amazing statues of diorite. Your historical journey then proceeds to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), an imposing masterpiece with an architectural design covering almost 490,000 square meters. The GEM is strategically positioned along with the shining pyramids of Giza, thus bringing together the richness of ancient Egypt and the wonders of modern technology and design.
