A Stunning Journey Through the Millennium|Explore the Pyramids of Giza

🌟Highlights: The three majestic pyramids stand like giants in the desert, about 10 kilometers southwest of Cairo, Egypt. They are the world-famous Pyramids of Giza. As one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Pyramids of Giza embody the glory and mystery of ancient Egyptian civilization, attracting countless tourists to explore the secrets of history. ❤Recommended reasons: As the largest pyramid in the Giza pyramid complex, the Great Pyramid of Giza exhibits an astonishing scale and precision. It was originally 146.6 meters high, equivalent to the height of a 40-story building. Although the top has eroded by 10 meters due to long-term weathering, it is still 136.5 meters high. The base of the pyramid is about 230 meters long and is built with 2.3 million stones with an average weight of 2.5 tons, with a total weight of about 5.7 million tons. The stones are joined together almost seamlessly, and even a thin sheet of paper cannot be inserted. The architectural precision is difficult to replicate with modern technology, which makes people admire the superb craftsmanship and wisdom of the ancient Egyptians. ✅Must-see: The Sphinx, as an important part of the Giza pyramid complex, is a must-see. Standing in front of it, you can feel the symbol of the pharaoh's power and the worship of mysterious forces by the ancient Egyptians. 👍Highly recommended: The Solar Boat Museum, located on the south side of the Great Pyramid, displays a solar boat that is more than 4,500 years old. This boat is made of Lebanese cedar wood and is disassembled into 1,224 pieces and buried in a pit next to the pyramid. It is a testament to the exquisite shipbuilding technology of the ancient Egyptians. 📍Detailed address: The Pyramids of Giza are located about 10 kilometers southwest of Cairo, the capital of Egypt, on the west bank of the Nile River, 8 kilometers south of the Giza Province, in the Libyan Desert. 💰Tickets: The entrance fee to the Pyramids of Giza is about 540 Egyptian pounds (about 80 yuan). To enter the Great Pyramid, you need to pay an additional 900 Egyptian pounds (about 135 yuan). To enter the Pyramid of Khafre, you need to pay 220 Egyptian pounds (about 35 yuan). Note that cash cannot be used to purchase tickets at the scenic area. Only card payments are accepted. 🕙Opening hours: 8:00 - 17:00 daily. It is recommended that tourists choose to enter the park early in the morning to avoid peak hours and take beautiful photos in good light. 🚉Transportation: From Cairo, you can take a taxi to the Pyramids of Giza. The journey takes about 30 minutes and costs between 100 and 150 Egyptian pounds. You can also take the subway to Giza Station and then take a taxi or minibus to the scenic area. If you want to explore the surrounding area more freely, renting a car is a good choice. 🗓Itinerary: After entering the scenic area, the Great Pyramid of Giza will be the first thing you see. You can take a close look at its majestic appearance and take photos as a souvenir. Then, follow the road to the Pyramid of Khafre and admire its unique architectural style and well-preserved top veneer. In front of the Pyramid of Khafre, don't forget to take a photo with the mysterious Sphinx. Finally, go to the Pyramid of Menkaure and take a walk in the surrounding desert after the visit. Enjoy the unique landscape of the desert and the pyramids. The whole journey takes about 3-5 hours. If you are interested in history and culture, you can also learn more about the history and archaeological discoveries of the pyramids in the museum within the scenic area. 📝Tips: There are many local people in the scenic area who will actively talk to tourists, sell goods, provide photo services, or invite them to ride camels. Be aware of various scams, do not easily believe strangers, and avoid unnecessary consumption. When visiting the pyramids, the passages are narrow and stuffy, and you need to bend over to walk. Pay attention to safety and your own physical condition. In addition, the climate in Egypt is hot, so be sure to take sun protection and heatstroke prevention measures and bring enough drinking water. The Pyramids of Giza are not only a symbol of ancient Egyptian civilization, but also a great wonder of human history. Here, you can touch the traces of history, feel the ancient Egyptians' pursuit of eternity and reverence for life. Step onto this mysterious land and embark on a journey through time and space. Believe that the Pyramids of Giza will leave you with unforgettable memories.
