Giza is a city in Egypt located on the Nile, forming part of the metropolitan area of the Egyptian capital. It is famous in the world because in its vicinity is the plateau of Giza, where about 4600 years ago were built the three great pyramids of the Fourth Dynasty.
Giza contains many tourist attractions, as it is considered one of the most famous tourist places around the world.
Giza is part of the great necropolis of Memphis, which stretched for more than forty kilometers and was known in the Ancient Empire of Egypt by the generic name of Her-necher (the Necropolis) or Imentet (the West).
Each of the three great pyramids had its name, which also designated the necropolis that surrounded it: The luminous horizon of Cheops, khephren is great and Mycerinus is divine. It was during the reign of Cheops that the Giza plateau reached great importance.

Read MoreThe best time to visit Egypt depends on where you want to go. Generally speaking, winter (December to February) is the tourist high season and summer (June to August) is the low season in all parts of the country except on the coasts, and to a lesser degree in Cairo.
Weather-wise, June to August is unbearable almost anywhere south of Cairo, especially around Luxor and Aswan, where daytime temperatures soar up to 40°C. Summer in Cairo is almost as hot.
When visiting somewhere such as Luxor, winter is easily the most comfortable time. Cairo isn’t quite as pleasant, with often overcast skies and chilly evenings, while up on the Mediterranean coast Alexandria is subject to frequent downpours resulting in flooded, muddy streets. Even Sinai’s beaches are a little too chilly for sunbathing in January.
The happiest compromise for an all-Egypt trip is to visit in spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November).
There is very little that you might need and won’t be able to find in Egypt. That said, you may not have the same degree of choice as at home.
So bring sunglasses, a torch (flashlight), sunscreen and a hat. If you’re a light sleeper you may also want to bring earplugs.
If you are visiting during winter, a sweater or light jacket is necessary for evenings, especially in desert areas.
Here’re the most important things you should bring it with you.
Hats, Sunglasses, Sunscreen, Comfortable walking shoes, Power Adapters, Medication, Camera, Alcoholic Beverages.
