In this article, we will exhibit all the Sphinx tours you can do in Egypt. Also, we will describe how to get to the Sphinx from different destinations.
History of Sphinx in Egypt
The Great Sphinx of Giza is a limestone statue of a reclining sphinx, a mythical creature that comprises a lion’s body with a pharaoh’s head. Facing directly from West to East, it stands on the Giza Plateau on the west bank of the Nile in Giza, Egypt. The face of the Sphinx represents the pharaoh, Khafre.
The Great Sphinx lies among many surrounding monuments. The whole area where Sphinx lies is called the Pyramid Complex. In this complex, tourists can see the most famous Egyptian pyramids at Giza, on the outskirts of Cairo. Archaeologists count several Giza pyramids among the most significant structures ever built. The Pyramid of Khufu comes as the largest Egyptian pyramid. It is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still in existence.
