Great Pyramid: Giza, Egypt
Experience the Great Pyramid, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, on a self-guided, private or group daytrip from Cairo that also includes the famous Great Sphinx. The 481-foot-tall monument is composed of an estimated 2.3 million stone blocks that each weigh up to 15 tons, a feat that still baffles engineers today. Built around 2550 B.C. by Pharaoh Khufu for his afterlife, it was soon joined by two other major pyramids built by Pharaohs Khafre and Menkaure within a burial complex at Giza that includes other temples and a palace.
