The Pyramids of Giza stand as timeless monuments to ancient Egypt’s engineering, religion, and royal power. Located on the western edge of modern-day Giza, a bustling city now integrated into Greater Cairo, these ancient structures rest on the edge of the Sahara Desert, rising dramatically above the fertile Nile Valley below.
