Luxury Vacations in Cairo & the Pyramids of Giza
All kings wish to be remembered, but when the fabled pharaoh Khufu commissioned his mausoleum around 2,600 BCE he hoped his name would sing through the centuries. He certainly achieved his aim.
Some 4,600 years later, the Great Pyramid is the centerpiece of an archaeological site that has no equals; further tombs cluster around it and the Sphinx sprawls at its feet, while the vast new Grand Egyptian Museum, adjacent, adds extra detail. Giza lies just outside Egypt’s capital of Cairo, where Roman, Coptic and Ottoman echoes are complemented by the clamor of the labyrinthine metropolis.
