The Great Pyramid
In fact, king Khufu (reigned 2589–2566 BCE) ordered the construction of the Great Pyramid during the fourth dynasty. In addition, it stands at 146 metres tall, making it one of the highest man-made buildings in historical times. Due to its huge size, it is regarded as one of the seven wonders of the world. It is constructed of more than two million stone blocks and was formerly the famous mausoleum of King Khufu.
The Great Sphinx
It is one of the largest sculptures in the world and is from the fourth dynasty. It depicts a lion’s body with a human head bearing King Chephren’s visage. 100 people worked over three years to cut it out of a sizable chunk of limestone.
The Valley Temple
It was primarily built where it is today on the Giza Plateau as a hub for mummification. The massive granite slabs that make up the Valley Temple were carved out of diorite.
After eating lunch at the Pyramids/Nile view restaurant, go on to the following destinations:
Step Pyramid of Saqqara
It is recognised as the earliest notable example of cut stone construction and was constructed during the reign of King Djoser, who ruled Egypt in the 27th century B.C. The step pyramid is 62 metres tall and is constructed of six steps that are placed on top of one another.

The High Dam
In fact, the High Dam, which is around 3830 meters long and 111 meters high, is located in the far south of Egypt. Its construction was primarily necessary since it shielded Egypt from the yearly floods of the Nile River, which destroyed the farms and crops. Therefore, it has a significant beneficial impact on the Egyptian economy.
The Unfinished Obelisk
In fact, the largest obelisk ever carved in ancient Egypt, it weighs 1200 kilogrammes and is 42 metres in length. In addition, during the 18th dynasty, Queen Hatshepsut (1478–1458) constructed it.

On the other hand, the skill of the Ancient Egyptians in carving and sculpting is on show in this unfinished obelisk.
Temple of Philae
The most amazing Nubian monument was created as a place of adoration for the goddess Isis. Before UNESCO moved the temple from Philae Island to Agilika Island, it was in grave danger due to the Nile floods. Then, the temple’s rocks bear the imprints of the Pharaohs, Byzantines, Greeks, and Romans.
