If there is a historic place in the world to visit, then it is Egypt! Such as the unparalleled history of the pharaohs, the huge pyramids in the desert and the towering capital of Cairo. We recommend that you do not miss all this during your holiday in Egypt. The famous Pyramids of Giza, which consist of a total of 6 pieces, are among the oldest buildings in the world. You will be enchanted!
The Great Pyramid was built by quarrying an estimated 2.3 million large blocks weighing 6 million tonnes total. The majority of stones are not uniform in size or shape and are only roughly dressed. The outside layers were bound together by mortar. Primarily local limestone from the Giza Plateau was used. Other blocks were imported by boat down the Nile: White limestone from Tura for the casing, and granite blocks from Aswan, weighing up to 80 tonnes, for the King's Chamber structure.
