A mythical creature with the head of a human and the body of a lion, the The Great Sphinx of Giza is a limestone statue facing directly from west to east. Found on the Giza Plateau on the west bank of the Nile in Giza, Egypt, the face of the Sphinx is thought to represent Pharaoh Khafre. The original shape of the Sphinx was cut from bedrock and has since been restored with layers of limestone blocks. Measuring 73 m long from paw to tail, and 20 m high from the base to the top of the head. The Sphinx is the oldest known monumental sculpture in Egypt and one of the most recognizable statues in the world. The archaeological evidence suggests that it was created by ancient Egyptians of the Old Kingdom during the reign of Khafre (c. 2558–2532 BC)

The iconic Pyramids with their technologies and astrological links are testament to an ancient civilisation that in many ways was further advanced than we are today. The River Nile has always and continues to be a lifeline for Egypt. Trade, communication, agriculture, water and now tourism provide the essential ingredients of life - from the Upper Nile and its cataracts, along its fertile banks to the Lower Nile and Delta. In many ways life has not changed for centuries, with transport often relying on the camel on land and felucca on the river
