Giza Pyramid Complex

HistoryOpen until 4pmFrom £700Giza (Metro Line 2, then taxi ~20 min)

Giza Pyramid Complex 位於西部沙漠邊緣，俯瞰開羅市區，是埃及最具代表性的考古遺址。此建築群建於古王國第四王朝時期（約公元前2613至2494年），核心為三座巨型金字塔：胡夫大金字塔（Great Pyramid of Khufu，原高146.5米，曾是世界最高建築物長達3,800年）、卡夫拉金字塔（Pyramid of Khafre，高143.5米，塔頂至今仍保留部分原有石灰岩外殼），以及較小的孟卡拉金字塔（Pyramid of Menkaure，高65米）。大獅身人面像（Great Sphinx）由整塊基岩雕成，獅身人首，守護着遺址東側入口。三座主金字塔周圍還分佈着較小型的王后金字塔、貴族的馬斯塔巴墓（mastaba tombs）、祭廟與河谷神廟、通道，以及一座工匠村落的遺跡。此遺址屬於1979年列入名錄的「Memphis and its Necropolis」聯合國教科文組織世界文化遺產範圍。遊人可漫步於高地之上，輪流進入部分金字塔內部參觀，並近距離觀賞獅身人面像及相關神廟。
