Pyramids Of Giza, Egypt

The Pyramids of Egypt are burial sites for royals and important priests and stretch for over 9 kilometres. The complex that houses the pyramids also has other important structures like the Sphinx of Giza and other smaller tombs. The whole complex was declared a world heritage site in 1979. Set on the banks of the Nile River, most of the structures in this complex were built around 2500 BC. The pyramids are also one of the best-preserved man made wonders of the world.
