Pyramids of Giza, Egypt
Top 9 in Top 25 World's Most-Visited Places
You may believe you have a decent understanding of historic sites if you've seen the Colosseum in Rome or the Acropolis in Athens, both of which were erected over 2,000 years ago. The Pyramids of Giza, on the other hand, take ancient to a whole new level. These were constructed over 4,500 years ago. Tourists have been visiting these amazing structures for literally thousands of years.
The Pyramids, which also house the Sphinx and are located just outside Cairo, are easy to reach and trips are simple to schedule. A camel ride around the structures at sunset is a fantastic experience.
