Giza governorate is located in the middle region of Egypt on the west bank of the Nile. It is situated just opposite to Cairo, the capital city of Egypt. This prime governorate extends along the Nile Valley and also includes a large part of the desert and the well-known Bahariya Oasis. The area of this the already-large Giza province was further increased by when it was merged with the 6th of October Governorate in April of 2011. Nonetheless, the population of Giza governorate is fairly low at less than 100 per square kilometer. This is mainly due to the inclusion of the scarcely populated desert area in this province. Giza governorate is particularly famous for the presence of the Great Sphinx and the remarkable Pyramids on the Giza strip.
The Pyramids of Giza are considered archaeological wonders and are famous worldwide. They are built on the Giza Plateau, just outside the city of Cairo. This pyramid complex consists of the three great pyramids, namelythe Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre and the Pyramid of Menkaure, along with the Great Sphinx.
This is another famous necropolis of Egypt, built during the reign of the 5th dynasty in the Old Kingdom. Abusir literally means ‘the House of Osiris’ in the ancient Egyptian language. It is located near Cairo and contains 14 pyramids, including the incredible Pyramid of Sahure, the Pyramid of Neferirkare Kakai and the Pyramid of Nyuserre.
