The Pyramids of Giza: on the west of the Nile facing Cairo and on top of Giza plateau rise the three pyramids erected by Cheops, chephren and Mycerinus, guarded by the mythical statue with the body of a lion and a human head. The three Pyramids and the sphinx are considered one of the seven wonders of the world and the most important tourist site in Egypt. The great pyramid, built by king cheops (IV Dynasty), circa 2690 BC. The pyramid covers an area of 13 acres. Its height, originally 146m, has now become 137m, after the erosion of its summit. The total volume of its stones amounts to 2.5 million cubic meters. The ancient Egyptian's aim in building the pyramids was that they should serve as sepulchers for their Pharaohs to preserve their bodies, for they believed in resurrection and immortality.

The step Pyramid of Sakkara: Saqqara is the ancient site of Memphis city; hence it abounds in monuments, antiquities and tombs. It is the most ancient burial ground in ancient Egypt. It lies on a desert plateau, southwest of Cairo. Above rises the step-pyramid and mortuary compound, built by the engineer imhotep for king Zoser, the first of the III Dynasty pharaohs circa 2780 BC. The pyramid is composed of six receding Mastabas on top of other. The step-pyramid measures 123.5 by 107ms at the base and about 59ms in height. It is the first massive stone edifice known to history. The Saqqara Pyramid is considered an evolution in the concept of pyramids from the simple Mastaba to the pyramid in its present shape.
