Admire the Great Pyramid of Khufu, which is the tallest and probably most widely known as the giant tomb and at one point the tallest structure on Earth.
View the Pyramid of Khafre with its limestone casing still visible at the top and great accentuation.
Check out the Pyramid of Menkaure: still a smaller member of the pyramids, yet one still worth working on.
Stand in front of the Great Sphinx, a giant half-lion, half-pharaoh statue akin to a big bouncer simply standing there for centuries, keeping watch over the pyramids.
