on January 10, 2020

There are few sites on earth as easily recognizable as the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, located just outside the capital city of Cairo. The complex consists of three main pyramids, a few smaller pyramids, the Sphinx and ruins of other structures. The three main pyramids are the Pyramid of Khufu (or Great Pyramid), Pyramid of Khafre and Pyramid of Menkaure, with Khufu being the largest of the structures. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a must see when visiting Egypt and it is the perfect opportunity to learn fascinating information about the days of the Pharaohs.

The Great Sphinx is located in Giza, Egypt and is located just outside of Cairo, on the other side of the Nile. The statue is one of the most famous images in the world and sits right next to the Great Pyramids. The Sphinx is made of limestone and depicts the mythical ancient Egyptian creature with the head of a pharaoh and the body of a lion. Archaeologists estimate that the statue is around 4,500 years old and was created for the pharaoh Khafre.
