Giza, which is located on the west bank of the Nile River, just outside Cairo, is one of the most recognizable places on the planet. The ancient elegance of Egypt is represented here — the enormous Pyramids of Giza rise up out of the desert and the mysterious Great Sphinx still hiding the secrets of the pyramids. The Stela and the Pyramids always amazed people, being part of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and this feeling of awe still continues among the people after thousands of years.
The Giza Plateau, which is massive, attracts the visitors very much. They can also admire the stunning engineering of the pyramids and, if they like, go inside the tombs. Not really far away, the Solar Boat Museum displays the interesting information about the ancient Egyptians’ thinking in the afterlife.
Besides that, Giza has breathtaking views of the desert and the skyline of the modern city. A camel ride at sunset or a night show with the sound and lights under the pyramids are some of the most romantic activities one can do on his/her visit. Due to its extraordinary history, Giza is a ‘place you have to visit’ if you want to experience the core and the spirit of the ancient Egypt along with its unforgettable landscape.
