Welcome to Egypt... The three pyramids of Giza are simply incredible! The sheer scale of these monuments leaves anyone breathless, everything about them is huge! The Great Sphinx watches over the pyramids, and once again, the size is awe-inspiring! Various other pyramids and tombs surround the city of Cairo, each ancient site has a magic of it's own.
