Overview
Take a trip to Pyramids of Giza on your Egypt Vacation
The Pyramids of Giza are some of history's most discussed and fascinating structures. They were built 5,000 years ago as tombs for the pharaohs of Egypt. The colossal effort required to build the giant structures in precise measurements and to perfect alignments have invited conspiracy theories about the involvement of aliens.
There are three pyramids in the Giza complex: the Great Pyramid built around 2,550 BC for King Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, built by his son Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure dedicated to Khafre's son. The Great Pyramid is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It originally stood at 481 ft (147 m) tall and decreased in height to 454 ft (138m) after its white limestone casing was removed. You can view the pyramids from the outside or go inside, where you will see the King's Chamber, Khufu's sarcophagus. You can ride up to the structures on a camel ride and enjoy a light and sound show that narrates a story about the pyramids along with laser light, music, and voiceover narration. There is an entrance fee to visit the pyramids. Mornings are less hot and crowded.
