The Great Pyramid In pre-historical times in 2580 BC, a great one-in-a-lifetime construction was created to reach all the way to the heavens and act as the final resting place for King Khufu. The Great Pyramid was designed by Khufu's Vizer Heminuu with the help of more than 100,000 workers and 2.3 million limestone blocks to reach 146.7 m (481ft) high. It is the only remaining construction out of the legendary seven wonders of the world. The Great Sphinx One of the oldest symbols and statues in the world is located in front of the great pyramid of Khafre known as the sphinx, 19 m (66 ft) wide and 73 m (240 ft) tall which has the full physical appearance of a lion and the face of a man featured in the sitting position since the day of the old kingdom or even further. The Valley Temple In the ancient time of the great Egyptian civilization, the process of mummification was performed on the bodies of the pharaohs of the old kingdom to prepare them for the afterlife. The Grand Egyptian Museum The Grand Egyptian Museum is envisioned as a modern gateway to five millennia of pharaonic history, spanning nearly 490,000 m² and purposefully aligned with the pyramids. Within its vast, light-filled atrium and carefully climate-controlled galleries, visitors encounter some of Egypt’s most iconic treasures—the Hanging Obelisk, an 11-metre colossus of Ramses II, ten statues of King Senusret, the processional Grand Staircase, and Merneptah’s Victory Column. At its very core lies the world’s most complete, purpose-curated exhibition of more than 5,000 artifacts from Tutankhamun, offering an immersive journey into the artistry, faith, and power that defined one of history’s greatest civilizations.
