Cairo is often associated with ancient Egypt and is also synonymously associated with the world-famous Giza Pyramid Complex. These jaw-dropping structures are something that all travelers aspire to visit and we can understand why. They’re humongous architectural marvels that are considered to be one of the seven wonders of the world. The three structures, Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, were built between 2550 to 2490 B.C. and named after the pharaohs entombed in them. Khufu’s pyramid is believed to be the oldest among the pyramids of Giza. It held the record for being the tallest structure for almost 3,800 years.
