The Giza Pyramid Complex, or Giza Necropolis, lies on the Giza Plateau in Egypt. It houses the Great Pyramid of Giza, as well as the Pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure, their associated complexes, and the famous Great Sphinx. These grand structures were built during the Fourth Dynasty of Egypt’s Old Kingdom. The site also features numerous ancient cemeteries and the remains of a village that once provided housing for the workers who constructed the pyramids.

The Great Sphinx of Giza, commonly known as the Sphinx, is a limestone statue featuring a reclining sphinx—a legendary mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human. It faces east and is situated on the Giza Plateau, on the west bank of the Nile River in Giza, Egypt.

Papyrus, an ancient precursor to the modern book, is believed to have originated in Egypt during the First Dynasty. It was made from the papyrus plant, which once flourished along the Nile River.

The Cairo Tower is a contemporary symbol of the Egyptian capital, distinguished by its unique design and a lattice structure meant to resemble a lotus flower. Standing in the modern Zamalek district, it serves as a telecommunications tower and reaches a height of 187 meters.

Tahrir Square (Midan Al-Tahrir) is one of Cairo’s largest and most iconic squares, located in the heart of the city. Originally known as Khedive Ismail Square, it was renamed Tahrir, meaning "liberation," following the July 23rd revolution of 1952, which marked the end of the monarchy and the rise of an independent republic. To honor its historical significance as one of Cairo’s oldest squares and its role as a symbol of modern Egypt, the Egyptian government undertook a major development project. Tahrir Square has also served as the starting point for the 25th of January and 30th of June revolutions.
