    Home to far over 5100 years of civilization, Egypt itself can awe the pilgrim with its incomprehensibly long history. With so many mysterious monuments, and even one of the wonders of the world, Egypt is a powerful attraction to pilgrims.

Great Pyramid The Great Pyramid of Giza is one of the wonders of the world. By far the largest artificial structure ever built, the precision and quality of construction is beyond even the finest means available today. Its age is staggeringly vast; many researchers believe it to be at least twelve thousand years old. Furthermore, countless behaviours and purposes are attributed to the Great Pyramid, resulting in a powerfully mysterious spiritual allure for pilgrims and simple tourists alike.
Sphynx Evidence suggests the Sphynx was constructed before ten thousand BC; considering that it is also currently the greatest monument in existence, the Sphynx is an astonishing artifact. Also, being associated with astrology, spiritual appeal is enhanced greatly.
