Introduction of cairo scenic spots
Memphis and its graveyard from Giza to Shure Pyramid Territory.
Located in the southwest suburb of Cairo, the Pyramid of Giza is the most famous pyramid area in Egypt and one of the seven wonders of the world. There are three Great Pyramids (-), which belong to the three pharaohs of the fourth dynasty, namely Sun San Daikhufu, khalaf and Mankoala. In addition, there are world-famous relics, such as the Sphinx, the sun boat and the Valley Temple.
sphinx
The Sphinx is also called "Sphinx", which means "father of terror" in Arabic. It is 73 meters long, 2 1 meter high and 5 meters wide on the front. Its head is carved into the image of Pharaoh Hafula. The sphinx is magnificent, with a solemn expression and staring into the distance. The statue sits west to east, squatting beside khalaf's mausoleum.
Almost every visitor here will take a misplaced photo of "kissing" the Sphinx. Climb up the corridor next to the Sphinx and you can get what you want. In addition, you can also take photos of various postures such as reclining and kissing the pyramid.

Located near Tahrir Square in downtown Cairo, the Egyptian Museum displays cultural relics from ancient Egypt to Roman rule. Come here to witness the golden masks of Egyptian pharaohs and the treasures of the town hall, and visit the mummies of many pharaohs and royal nobles in the mummy exhibition hall to learn about their production techniques.
