Built over 4,500 years ago, these ancient structures were designed to protect the mummies and treasures of pharaohs as they went to the afterlife. Known as Cheops, Chephren and Mycerinus, these legendary pyramids are the last of the ancient Seven Wonders of the World and a defining symbol of Egypt. Until 1889, when the Eiffel Tower was completed in Paris, Cheops was the tallest man-made structure in the world and, at 146 metres tall, is still highly impressive today. For a real Arabian experience, camels are available to hire and ride across the sands.
