On the edge of Cairo, the Giza Necropolis is home to the last remaining wonder of the ancient world — the Great Pyramid of Khufu. Alongside it stand the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure, part of a vast complex that includes tombs, causeways, temples, and smaller pyramids built for queens and nobles. The scale alone is enough to stop you in your tracks. Just below the pyramids sits the Great Sphinx of Giza — carved from a single piece of limestone, with the body of a lion and the face of a pharaoh, likely Khafre. At around 73 metres long and 20 metres high, it’s one of the largest sculptures in the world.

Through interactive exhibits, ground-breaking programs, live demonstrations, and exciting films, both grownups and kids can explore the wonder of science at California Science Center. The STS Endeavor and IMAX cinema are only a couple of must-sees - bring a lot of time along, as you will most probably want to wander around for hours.

This Memorial Church was built in 1897 from duke Ernst I. in remembrance of his wife Agnes. Very special are the windows which hint at the birthday month of Agnes.
