Egypt’s Giza pyramid complex hosted 14.7 million tourists from around the world during 2023.
Located in the city of Giza, southwest of the capital Cairo, the Giza complex contains three pyramids, the Pyramid of Cheops or the Great Pyramid, as well as the Pyramid of Khafre and the Pyramid of Mykerinos.
The Pyramid of Cheops, also known as the Great Pyramid or the Pyramid of Khufu, is the tomb of Pharaoh Khufu in Giza. It is the oldest and largest pyramid in Giza and the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the World, with a height of 140 meters. It is believed that around 100,000 people built the pyramid for 20 years. Each stone is two meters high, and some are five meters long.
When visiting the complex, tourists are greeted by horse-drawn carriages and camels, and souvenirs are also sold nearby.
