Giza
is an area located on the west bank of the Nile, on the fringes of Cairo. Although considered a city, it has been absorbed as part of the bustling and very populated Egyptian capital. With almost 3 million people living here, it is the third largest city in the country.
The city is well-known for being the location of the country's ultimate attraction, the iconic
Pyramids of Giza
, which is situated on the
Giza Plateau
along with the
Sphinx
. Constructed in 2500 BC to house Egypt's dead pharaohs, the pyramids are the only
Ancient Wonder of the World
left still standing today.
Aside from the pyramids, visitors to Giza can stop by the
Solar Barque Museum
which features the excavated and reconstructed solar boat of Khufu. Or go on a fun camel ride. Just don't miss the
Pyramids Sound and Light Show
.
Because of its location near the ancient site and Cairo, Giza is the perfect option for travellers looking for better hotel deals and entertainment away from the bustle of the capital.
