Set on the West Bank of the River Nile these age-old pyramids are the sole survivors from the Great Wonders of the Ancient World and are one of the planet’s oldest tourist attractions. Originally built as royal tombs during Egypt’s Old and Middle Kingdom Periods, they are riddled with a maze of passageways designed to protect the Mummies of the Pharaohs and the treasures which they would take with them to the afterlife. There will also be an opportunity to snap a few photos with the world-famous Sphinx, an impressive 50-meter tall statue with the body of a feline and the head of a human carved out of a single piece of rock.
