Giza Essentials

Giza’s landscape spans millennia of Egyptian history, anchored by the Great Pyramids and the limestone Great Sphinx. Beyond the Giza Plateau, this collection includes the archaeological complex of Saqqara, home to Djoser’s 27th-century BC step pyramid and the detailed funerary art of the Mastaba of Ti. Further south, the Red Pyramid at Dahshur showcases the evolution of smooth-sided construction, while the ruins of Memphis mark the Old Kingdom’s former capital. The list also features Wadi Al-Hitan, a desert valley preserving fossilized remains of prehistoric whales.
