You definitely wouldn’t want to miss out on Egypt’s top attractions, the Pyramids of Giza and the last surviving Seven Wonders of the World. There are three main pyramids: the Pyramid of Kafhre, the Great Pyramid of Khufu, and the Pyramid of Menkaura. Each pyramid is the final resting place for different pharoahs of Egypt. Guarding them is the Sphinx, carved out of a single block of stone. These massive structures were thought to have been made during the fourth dynasty of the Egyptian Old Kingdom, one of the first great civilizations on earth.
