With a height of 147 meters (481 feet), the Great Pyramid was the world’s tallest structure for 3800 years, until the construction of the Lincoln Cathedral in England in 1311.

The sphinx, which stands 73 meters (240 feet) tall and 19 meters (66 feet) wide, was carved out of a single massive limestone boulder.
The Valley Temple

It was known as “Tekhenu,” which means “To Pierce the Sky,” and displayed how obelisks were built.

A huge earthquake in 27 BC severely destroyed the colossi, which were reconstructed in 199 AD. During the Greco-Roman era, the sculptures were well-known due to the Vocal Memnon phenomenon, produced by singing at dawn from time to time, which was nothing more than the sound of the wind blowing through the statue.
Then return to your Luxor hotel for the night.
Day 7: Take in the Must-See Old Cairo Attractions
Day seven will begin with breakfast and check-out from your Luxor hotel, followed by a flight to Cairo to finish your 9-day Egypt luxury itinerary by seeing some of Cairo’s major tourist sites, including:

It is the tallest monolithic column ever erected outside of Rome, standing 28 meters tall and 2.7 meters wide and composed completely of solid red granite, with a Greek inscription dedicated to Emperor Diocletian carved on its western top side.
