Giza – City of Pyramids & Wonders Since 2560 BC

Giza lies on the west bank of the Nile directly opposite Cairo, hosting the famous Giza Plateau where the Great Pyramid was built c.2560 BC under Pharaoh Khufu — the only surviving Wonder of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Rising 146.5 meters and containing approximately 2.3 million stone blocks, it stands alongside Khafre's Pyramid (retaining its original summit casing) and Menkaure's Pyramid, while the Great Sphinx — 73 meters long with the face of King Khafre — guards the plateau.

In 2023, the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) opened just 2km from the Pyramids to become the world's largest archaeological museum, housing 100,000+ artifacts including the complete treasures of Tutankhamun. Prayer times in Giza follow Egypt time EET/UTC+2 in winter and EEST/UTC+3 in summer.
