Giza City:
Giza is on the west bank of the
Nile and takes in an 18km (11mi) swathe that includes the Great Pyramids.
The pyramids, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, are the
fascinating, breathtaking and picturesque tourist sites of Egypt, bound to
make the experience of your holiday trip astounding and unforgettable and
despite the crowds that visit every year, they are still a truly
overwhelming sight. The building of the pyramids is still a mystery tale for
the world . The challenges they faced -- from quarrying the stones,
transporting them on the Nile, moving them to the site, to precisely shaping
and assembling them (without the use of mortar) -- were awesome. The
Pyramids have survived the rise and fall of great dynasties and conquerors,
and share the flat desert surrounds with the Sphinx and a number of smaller
pyramids and temples.
