Places in This Journey
Understand the places, not only the stops.
Giza Plateau
The Giza Plateau brings together the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure with temples, cemeteries and the Great Sphinx. It is best understood as a royal funerary landscape rather than as three isolated pyramids.
Understand the Place →Great Sphinx of Giza
Carved from the limestone bedrock beside Khafre’s valley-temple complex, the Great Sphinx combines a lion’s body with a royal human head. Its exact ancient name and some aspects of its interpretation remain debated.
Understand the Place →Grand Egyptian Museum
The Grand Egyptian Museum at Giza is designed around the material culture of ancient Egypt and its relationship to the nearby pyramid landscape. Current galleries, ticketing and access should be verified close to travel.
