Learn More about Gíza

The pyramids of Giza are the symbol of the Pharaonic civilization, but even more so of the emblems of antiquity and its mysteries. The pyramids of Giza are the oldest tourist site on the planet, visited for at least four millennia. No other pyramid in Egypt (there are at least a hundred!) is as large as the one built by Khufu at Giza. And it is indeed the one that the Ancients classified among their Seven Wonders, the only one that has come down to us. Colossal, majestic, unequalled... There is no shortage of superlatives to describe the site of Giza.
