Great Sphinx of Giza

Abū al Hūl

Rating: 5/5

The oldest pyramid in Giza and certainly the most impressive one. The last of Seven Wonders of the Ancient World that has remained.

This extraordinary stepped pyramid is a centrepiece of Saqqara necropolis and draws as much tourists as the pyramids of Giza.

Museum displaying tremendous collections of ancient Egyptian antiquities including mummies. Definitely a must see.

Seemingly higher than Khufu pyramid, easily recognisable by its limestone cap. The burial chambers are open to public.

Remains of what once was a capital of the Old Kingdom and a chief cult city of Ptah. A must see. Great Temple of Ptah is the main highlight.

The smallest pyramid in Giza. There are traces of dismantling attempts on the north side that the pyramid easily endured.

This museum holds an extensive collection of Egyptian Christian artefacts with rich variety of objects on display.

Even if only for its astonishing views, this majestic fortress is well worth visiting. Also houses several museums and mosques.

Get off the main tourist path to visit this tomb and descend into its burial chamber to see the sarcophagus.

This breath-taking interplay of lasers, lights and music embosoms the pyramids with mysterious atmosphere.
