Giza’s Pyramid represent one of incredible and amazing architectural feats by man. The Great Pyramid of Giza is the reason most people visit Egypt today and one of the world’s oldest tourist attractions, the last surviving member of the Seven Wonders of the World. In fact, there are three main pyramids in Giza; The Pyramid of Kafhre, the Great Pyramid of Khufu (or Cheops) and the smaller Pyramid of Menkaura. It is a tomb to a different King of Egypt within each Pyramid. It lies The Sphinx in front of the pyramids, or “Father of Terror” Abu al-Hol in Arabic. This enormous cat-like sculpture, which carved out of a single block of stone, has mesmerized millions of visitors.
