Pyramids of Giza Virtual Tour

Streaming on Google Maps

Over four-thousand years ago, in the desert landscapes outside the Egyptian city of Memphis, thousands of slaves lugged two-million bricks to construct the magnificent structures we know as the Pyramids of Giza. Inside were stored the tombs and treasures of Egypt’s pharaohs. Navigating those ancient lands by camel is on many a bucket list, but because that’s not possible right now, the experience has been replicated by Google in virtual format. The site offers information and virtual landscapes in the highest resolution. —E.C.
