Travel visiting the Great Pyramids of Giza

The biggest difficulty you might come across while visiting the world’s most sought-after sights is actually reaching that place. Making a successful trip requires extensive pre-planning. However, reaching the great pyramids of Giza is as much straightforward as boarding the No 355 bus near downtown Cairo. Or you may also catch the bus number 357, any of which arrives first. To add more convenience, the bus stop is located near the Egyptian Museum. You may want to brush up your knowledge about the Nile Valley before heading out for your date with the Sphinx.

More pyramids to see

The  Egypt pyramids, individually known as the Menkaure, Khafre and Khufu, occupy the vast shade-free desert. The Sun can be unforgiving. So it might be a worthy decision to hire a camel or horse in order to roam around. Securing the reliable services of an experienced guide is likely to pay dividends. A passionate tour package of Egypt Pyramids by Ask Aladin would surely bring those gargantuan limestone blocks back to life. There are multiple theories on how those stone blocks were transported. Even how they were lifted into its present position is a big matter of debate in the modern world. Surprisingly, recent infrared satellite survey updates show that thousands of more pyramids, along with burial sites of ancient settlements are hidden beneath the sands.

Mastery and excellence

Estimations claim that about 100,000 workers, which covered 10 percent of the Egypt’s population at that period, worked days and nights to build the iconic monuments. Interestingly, these 4,500-year-old Great Pyramid remained to be the world's tallest man-made structure until recently, when modern skyscrapers came into existence. As wondering as it may sound, the pharaoh’s tombs still remain to be in remarkable condition. The internal corridors, galleries and chambers of the Pyramid are open to the public, as compared to many other monuments around the world.

The mystery around the pyramids

Of all existing 7 wonders of the ancient world, the Great Pyramid of Khufu is the only one to survive in its original state. One of the biggest mysteries of the world is how these pyramids were constructed in the first place. Debates don't seem to end anytime soon as the world is still surprised by the ability of the ancient Egyptians of carrying massive stone blocks up to the topmost parts of the monuments. Recently, a hidden void inside the Great Pyramid of Khufu has been identified, which indicates some hope for those who want to know more about the illusive pyramids and their building process.
