The Great Pyramids at Giza.
There
are no more famous ancient sites within Egypt, or for that matter
elsewhere in the world, than the Great Pyramids at Giza. They are,
without question, the icon most associated with the Egypt. They
have been both the main destination for tourists, and a source of
imaginative thought to the world for over three thousand years.
However, there are actually over 100 pyramids in Egypt, many
of which are relatively unknown to anyone who is not an ancient
Egypt enthusiast. All but a very few are grouped around and near
the City of Cairo, just south of the Nile Delta. Otherwise, only
one royal pyramid is known in southern Egypt (at Abydos), that
being the one built by Ahmose, founder of the 18th Dynasty and
Egypt's New Kingdom. It may have also been the last royal pyramid
built in Egypt
