The Great Pyramid of Giza (Pyramid of Cheops): A colossal stone monument that has stood for over 4,500 years. Crafted with precision, it consists of approximately 2.3 million limestone and granite blocks. It was constructed as a tomb for Pharaoh Khufu to ensure his journey to the afterlife.

The Pyramid of Khafre (Chephren): The second-largest pyramid on the plateau, built for Pharaoh Khafre.

The pyramid complex includes the Great Sphinx, the Valley Temple, and a causeway.
