Admire the well-preserved structure of Khafre’s pyramid, still partially capped with original casing stones. Nearby, the smaller Pyramid of Menkaure stands in stark contrast, yet just as important in royal lineage.

Valley Temple

This beautifully preserved mortuary temple is where kings were mummified before burial. Its massive limestone blocks and symmetrical design reflect the spiritual rituals of ancient Egypt.

Tomb of Queen Meresankh III

Guarding the plateau for over 4,500 years, the Sphinx—with its lion's body and pharaoh’s face—is an enduring symbol of mystery and might. Local legends and ancient riddles still swirl around this silent sentinel.
