Giza's Timeless Wonders

This collection centers on the UNESCO-listed Giza Necropolis, home to the Great Pyramid of Khufu—the last remaining Wonder of the Ancient World. The site includes the Pyramid of Khafre, notable for its limestone cap, the smaller Pyramid of Menkaure, and the iconic Great Sphinx. Beyond the plateau, the Egyptian Museum displays an extensive collection of pharaonic antiquities and mummies. The list also features the historic Khan el-Khalili bazaar and the evening Sound & Light Show, which utilizes lasers and music to narrate the history of these ancient monuments.
