The Great Pyramid at Giza is amazing. Of the Seven Wonder's of the ancient world, the Great Pyramid is the only one left standing. This Pyramid is the largest ever to be built with three burial chambers in total. At 450 feet tall, the Great Pyramid was the first sight I saw upon my arrival to Egypt—we were able to see it from the airplane. Because of its sheer magnitude, taking pictures of this structure was also difficult. Each stone weighs about 5 to 15 tons.
Khufu is still buried inside the pyramid, and tourists can enter the pyramid for an extra entrance fee. You descend to the tomb by way of a long staircase and tunnel.
Khafre's pyramid is smaller than his father, however, he was clever and the pyramid was built on higher elevation, making it look larger than it really is. The Sphinx lies in front of the Pyramid of Khafre. The Sphinx is a depiction of the Pharaoh Khafre, on the body of a lion.
So what happened to the nose of the Sphinx? Napoleon has been blamed for shooting off the nose, however an Arab historian from the 15th century, way before Napoleon stepped foot in Egypt, recounted the missing nose.
Giza is a suburb of Cairo, and can be reached by taxi or private driver. I suggest hiring a driver and private guide for the tour.
