Carved from a single block of limestone, this colossal statue combines the body of a lion with the head of a pharaoh, most likely King Khafre. Measuring over 73 meters in length and 20 meters high, it is the largest monolithic statue in the world and has guarded the Giza Plateau for more than 4,500 years. As your guide explains its history and symbolism, take in the breathtaking scale of this ancient wonder and capture unforgettable photos at one of Cairo’s most iconic landmarks.
