The Pyramids of Giza are the most famous things to see in Egypt. These pyramids lie on the west bank of the Nile River. Most of them serve as royal Tombs for Kings and Queens. A man named Imhotep built the first ever step pyramid which gave the idea for pyramids such as the ones in Giza.

Giza is another city in Egypt where there is a lot of tourist attractions. It also has the sphinx. The Sphinx, is actually a monster. It has the head of a woman, the body of a lion, and the wings of a bird. It would stand at the entrance of Thebes and whoever wanted to enter would have to answer her riddle. If they did not answer her riddle correctly, they would die. Finally, a man named Oedipus came and he answered riddle correctly and she immediately  killed herself. To see the riddle, click here.

This is the picture of the Ancient City of Thebes. The Nile as seen to the right runs through it. At one period in time, Thebes was the capital of Egypt. It is covered completely with temples, tombs, and monuments. One main attraction it has is the great Luxor. It is a great monument. The City of Thebes has a great background full of pharaohs and Kings. It came a long way, and has been rebuilt a couple times too!
