We are going to start with the most important historical landmark and not only in Giza but in the whole world which are the three pyramids and the Pharaonic monuments that still attracts thousands of people all around the world. Let us talk about few of them:
The Giza Pyramids consist of 3 pyramids that vary in height; Khufu, which is 147 meters high, Khafre pyramid which is 147 meters high, and Menkaure that is 65 meters high.
The largest and the middle pyramids were covered with polished limestone that reflects the light but has been stripped to use for other structures such as some Cairo mosques, the edges of the pyramids are headed from north to south and from east to west.
Many discoveries have been made of some buildings structures that resemble the pyramids and were named queens pyramids. It is historically proven that kings were buried beneath it, which are most likely the mother and the wife of the King Khufu.
It is located in the same area as the pyramids on the east side of the Giza Hill, it is known to have a human head and a lion body and it is just as impressive as the pyramids.
There is some historical evidence that suggests that the human head is the head of Khafre and others say that it belongs to Khufu.
Also known as the “Pyramid of Djoser'' or the “Stepped Pyramid”, Saqqara is located in Saqqara’s Necropolis and was built to bury the Pharaoh Djoser in the 27th century BC.
It is worth mentioning that the pyramid is the first to be built from stones that are on the surface and built in stools on top of each other that has coffins inside which was an architectural wonder at the time.
The pyramid is on the intro to the road of the three famous pyramids and the pyramids of the 5th and the 6th family that has been found later. There are over 10 pyramids around Djoser pyramid and many temples and graves that go back to the pharaonic and greek eras.
