Greatest Wonders of the World: Egypt's Pyramids

Egypt's pyramids draw tourists from all over the world, though these ancient wonders only begin to uncover the pharaonic gifts spread across the Nile Valley. Put on your excavation hat at the West Bank of the lower Nile Valley and enter the Valley of the Kings to explore the tombs of such kings as Ramses II, Tuthmosis II, and Tutankhamun.

The Pyramids, the Sphinx, temples, obelisks, and tombs—few countries have as impressive a collection of monuments as does Egypt. Lucky for tourists, the ancient Egyptians thoughtfully placed their artistic creations for viewing ease—more than 90 percent of Egypt's attractions are showcased on the banks of the Nile.
