The [[Giza Plateau]] is the location of the [[Great Pyramid of Giza|Pyramid of Khufu]] (also known as the "Great Pyramid" and the "Pyramid of Cheops"), the somewhat smaller [[Pyramid of Khafre]] (or Chephren), the relatively modest-sized [[Pyramid of Menkaure]] (or Mykerinus), along with a number of smaller satellite edifices known as "Queen's pyramids", and the [[Great Sphinx of Giza]]. Of the three, only Khafre's pyramid retains part of its original polished limestone casing, near its apex. This pyramid appears larger than the adjacent Khufu pyramid by virtue of its more elevated location, and the steeper angle of inclination of its construction—it is, in fact, smaller in both height and volume.

The Giza pyramid complex has been a popular tourist destination since antiquity and was popularized in Hellenistic times when the Great Pyramid was listed by [[Antipater of Sidon]] as one of the [[Seven Wonders of the Ancient World]]. Today it is the only one of those wonders still in existence.
