This ancient temple, built as homage to the falcon-headed god Horus, was erected between 237 and 57 BC, during the reign of six different Ptolemies. It’s the second-largest temple in Egypt, only after Karnak, and its main building includes a number of marginally preserved reliefs.

An enormous 30m section looms over the garbage of the great antiquated settlement of Rhakotis, the first municipality from which Alexandria developed. Known as Pompey's Pillar, for a considerable length of time the segment, slashed from red Aswan stone, has been one of the city's prime sights: a solitary, tightened shaft, 2.7m at its base and topped by a fine Corinthian capital. The segment emerges from the meager remnants of the Temple of Serapeum, a great structure that remained here in antiquated occasions.

The Great Pyramid of Giza[a] is the largest Egyptian pyramid and served as the tomb of pharaoh Khufu, who ruled under the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom. Built in the early 26th century BC, over a period of about 27 years,[3] the pyramid is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only wonder that has remained largely intact. It is the most famous monument of the Giza pyramid complex, which is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Memphis and its Necropolis".[4] It is situated at the northern end of the line of the three pyramids at Giza.
