Pyramidane ved Giza

Pyramidane ved Giza er ni egyptiske pyramidar som ligg sørvest for Giza, ein forstad til Kairo. Den største av dei alle er Kheopspyramiden, grava til faraoen Khufu, som er det einaste av verdas sju underverk frå oldtida som framleis står. I tillegg står det to litt mindre og seks små pyramidar her. Sfinksen, egyptiske tempel og graver av typen mastaba ligg også i området.

Dei tre store pyramidane blei bygd mellom 2600 og 2500 f.Kr. Pyramidane ligg på Gizaplatået, eit ørkenområde 8 kilometer unna Giza på vestbreidda av Nilen og rundt 25 km sørvest for Kairo sentrum. Fornminnene i Memfis-området, med pyramidane ved Giza, er blitt rekna som verdsarv av UNESCO sidan 1977.

Bygg

Pyramidane er bygde av granitt, kalkstein og soltørka mursteinar. Steinblokkene kunne vega 2–3 tonn. Til Kheopspyramiden, som har ein grunnflate på 230×230 meter, brukte ein opp mot 2,5 millionar slike blokker.

Kheopspyramiden var opphavleg 146 meter høg, 139 etter at han mista kalksteindekket sitt. Pyramiden var det høgaste byggverket i verda fram til 1300, då tårnet til Domkyrkja i Lincoln raga høgare. Khefrenpyramiden er 136 meter høg, medan Menkaurepyramiden er 65,5 meter høg.

Теперь поздно, с новой властью к туристам не очень-то хорошо относятся =]

The pyramids don't look that far from the road, but they're actually are really far, they're just wicked big so they look closer than they actually are. The camel tours are expensive, but worth it!

If you are a horse riding lover visit FB Stables and Ride in the shadow of the Great Pyramids or further afield on a half day trip to Saqqara or Abu Sir or camp out over night with a barbecue and fire

The pyramids a really, really huge. You might think about climbing one, but once you get there, you'll change your mind!

The pyramids are really a must see, bucket list item. If you have the opportunity, you definitely have to do it.

I would recommend to avoid crowded hours even if the weather is hot to have a better experience. Camel tours are 100 EGB / 30 min / 1 person

It's amazing to visit pyramids at the age of thousands... No words enough to describe them. Get rid of people who asking money from you all the time
