The first and foremost is, of course, marveling at the Pyramids of Giza. One of the most recognizable landmarks in the world, the Pyramids of Giza are definitely a must-see.
The three pyramids are the Pyramid of Khufu, which is the largest one, the Pyramid of Khafre, the middle one, and the Pyramid of Menkaure. Your trip to Egypt is not complete if you marvel at these amazing pyramids. And while you’re at the complex, don’t forget to see the Great Sphinx as well.
