The Pyramids of Giza represent one of the greatest architectural feats by man. The last surviving member of the Seven Wonders of the World， the Great Pyramid of Giza is one of the world's oldest tourist attractions and the reason most people visit Egypt today. There are in fact three main pyramids in Giza； the Great Pyramid of Khufu （or Cheops）， The Pyramid of Kafhre and the smaller Pyramid of Menkaura. Each Pyramid is a tomb to a different King of Egypt. In front of the pyramids lies the Sphinx， or Abu al-Hol in Arabic， "Father of Terror". Carved out of a single block of stone， this enormous cat-like sculpture has mesmerized millions of visitors.
开罗市的西侧的吉萨区是举世闻名的金字塔的故乡，它是人类智慧在建筑方面的最大体现之一。这里的金字塔及狮身人面像有世界七大奇景之称，是人类最古老的旅游胜地，也是大部分人今天到埃及旅游的原因。实际上这里有三座最主要的金字塔：胡夫、哈扶拉、明卡乌拉金字塔。每一座塔都是埃及一位国王的墓。金字塔前面坐落着著名的斯芬克斯狮身人面像，或者叫做Abu al-Hol in Arabic（恐怖之父）。它是由一整块巨型岩石雕制而成，这座巨大的像猫一样的雕像吸引了成千上万的游客。
