The Great Sphinx

The Great Sphinx is definitely one of the symbols of Egypt. Most people believe that it represents King Khephren as a guardian of his own monument.

It used to be coloured, but now you can see very little of the original colouring on the headcloth (nemes) and the eyebrows.


The Great Sphinx is the oldest and largest specimen of its kind.

Address: Giza

Directions: East of Khephren's pyramid.
