Egypt, the pyramids of Giza, the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx in Cairo, Egypt. Let's travel to Egypt and let's visit the city of Cairo and the famous pyramids of Giza (the Great Pyramids) and the Sphinx. We will travel to the Giza pyramid complex which is an archaeological site on the Giza Plateau, on the outskirts of Cairo, Egypt to visit the pyramids of Giza, the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx. We will visit the 3 largest of the Great pyramids including the mysterious Sphinx.
This complex of ancient monuments includes the three pyramid complexes known as the Great Pyramids, the massive sculpture known as the Great Sphinx, several cemeteries, a workers' village and an industrial complex. It is located in the Western Desert, approximately 9 km (5 mi) west of the Nile river at the old town of Giza, and about 13 km (8 mi) southwest of Cairo city centre.
The pyramids, which have historically been common as emblems of ancient Egypt in the Western imagination, were popularised in Hellenistic times, when the Great Pyramid was listed by Antipater of Sidon as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It is by far the oldest of the ancient Wonders and the only one still in existence.
