It is widely believed that the tourists would never miss one of the Egypt’s top attractions in particular the last surviving member of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Great Pyramid of Giza that is home to three main pyramids, the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Kafhre and the Pyramid of Menkaura. The most mesmerizing enormous catty sculpture, Sphinx, which in Arabic is called Abu al Hol, stands for father of Terror, lies in front of the Pyramids.

The Pyramids and the Sphinx are thought to have been built in the 4rth dynasty of Egypt’s ancient Kingdom and it is said that around 20’000 workers were engaged and about two million blocks of stone, each one carrying weight of 2.5 tons, only to construct the Pyramid of Khufu. The contour of Egyptian pyramids is considered to symbolize the primitive heap from which the Egyptians supposed the earth was formed and the contour of a pyramid is thought to be representative of the downward energy of the sun, and most pyramids were faced with refined, extremely reflective white limestone to make their appearance radiant when sighted from a distance.

It is believed that the Giza Pyramids are around 5000 years old and were basically built as the burial places for Khufu, Kafhre and Menkaure, the three famous Pharaohs of the ancient Egyptian Kingdom, there are more than 100 Pyramids scattered around Egypt and the Giza Pyramids are considered the most enduring. At different times in the Egyptian history many invaders attempted to destroy these Pyramids, yet they survived because of being tough to destroy, such giant stone made Pyramids could neither be plundered nor be destroyed and yet represent the outstanding statistical, development planning, structural designing and managerial talent of the olden Egyptian.

Recently, in 2003, the area of workers who built the Pyramids was discovered that is said to be the ultimate evidence that the Pyramids were built by the free citizens of olden Egypt. Ideal time of the day to see Pyramids is the early in the morning that is just after sunrise, you will find local villagers working there, selling jewels, postcards and offer camel rides and guiding services to tourists, you can even enjoy the impressive lighting show in the evening.
