The first thing anyone thinks of when they hear Giza is, without a doubt, its magnificent pyramids. The third largest city in Egypt, Giza is located on the west bank of the Nile, southwest from Cairo. With over 2.5 million people living here, Giza is most famous for the Giza Plateau, the site of some of the most impressive ancient monuments in the world, including the Great Sphinx, the Great Pyramid of Giza, and a number of other large pyramids and temples.
Giza itself has always been a place of historical significance for being so close to Memphis, the ancient Pharaonic capital of the Old Kingdom. It’s not just pyramids here though, so check out our guide on things to do in Giza, as you wander the dunes.
