Situated on the outskirts of Cairo, the Pyramids of Giza represent one of the world's most iconic landmarks. Constructed over 4,500 years ago during the Old Kingdom period of ancient Egypt, these ancient structures comprise three main pyramids: the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure. Among them, the Great Pyramid stands as the largest and oldest, towering at 147 meters. Comprised of over 2 million stone blocks, some weighing up to 80 tons, it is hailed as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Designed as tombs for pharaohs and their consorts, these pyramids were built to safeguard their remains and possessions for eternity.
