The Pyramids

The Pyramids Of Giza, Cairo, Egypt.

Two of the three pyramids at Giza, together with the Sphinx, are seen here - the Great Pyramid of Khufu (which is the largest single man-made building ever constructed), and the Pyramid of Khafre, son of Khufu. The Great Sphinx, built near Khafre's pyramid, is believed to be a royal portrait of Khafre. During our visit on a cool November morning, we met a great many young people probably out on excursions.
