Pyramids and Sphinx
- Giza Pyramids Complex: The three main pyramids of Giza (Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure) are sufficient to build a 2-meter-long wall and span 100,000 square kilometres around the globe along with the equator.
- The Great Pyramid: The Great Pyramid of King Khufu is considered to broadly represents the spirit of ancient Egypt, King Khufu, who built this Pyramid as a cemetery, has left little information about his reign. Khufu ruled for about twenty-four years. Ironically, despite the enormity of his pyramid, the only statue of King Khufu himself is a tiny statue carved from ivory, about three inches long.
- Afterwards, head to visit the magical Sphinx: Who among us, when mentioning the name of the Sphinx, does not think about this stone sculpture carved in the form of the human head and lion body, which is located in the Giza plateau in Egypt? The Sphinx is one of the oldest and largest sculptures in the world; it’s about 73.5 metres long and 6 metres wide. There have been many different opinions about the symbol represented by the Sphinx. Old views said that it represents the wisdom of man and the strength of the lion together, and these qualities applied to “King Khafre“.
- After that, continue your day tour from Cairo to the Pyramids by visiting the Valley Temple: It was used as a place for the embalming process. This temple was constructed for two functions: First, it was used to purify the mummy before its burial. Second, it was used for making the Mummification process of the king.
