Pyramids

The Great Pyramids of Giza

On the outskirts of Cairo, Africa's largest city, are the Great Pyramids of Giza.

Built over 5000 years ago the Pyramids are among the largest buildings ever constructed. These enduring symbols of the Ancient Egyptian Civilisation are considered one of the 'Seven wonders of the world'.


The best examples of Pyramids are found outside Cairo although many others were built, none have stood the test of time as well as the Pyramids of Giza.
