Standing guard at the entrance to the Giza Plateau, the Great Sphinx of Giza is another iconic symbol of ancient Egypt. With the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh, it’s believed to represent the strength and wisdom of the kings of Egypt. The Sphinx, which has long been shrouded in mystery, continues to fascinate visitors. You can marvel at its imposing presence and take in the panoramic views of the surrounding desert and pyramids.
