The History and Significance of the Sphinx
Carved from a single limestone ridge, the Sphinx measures 73 meters long and 20 meters high, believed to represent Pharaoh Khafre. Scholars have long debated its purpose, suggesting it may have been a spiritual guardian for the pyramids or a representation of the sun god, Ra.
A guided visit reveals fascinating stories about its construction, the symbolism behind its lion-headed form, and the ancient Egyptian beliefs that shaped this monumental creation.

The Sphinx sits in front of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
