The Great Sphinx Of Giza was carved from a rocky spur which suggested its shape.

Although it has long been the victim of erosion and damage from the upsurges of underground water, it has been cleared of sand and restored several times since antiquity, and it remains one of the undisputed wonders of a great civilization known for its architectural achievements.

This great colossus of Khafre (240 feet long and 65 feet high) is both the guardian and symbol of Royality. Of course, other meanings have been attributed to the structure, but Royal Power is the most obvious.

During the New Kingdom it was seen as the representation of Re-Harakhti, the falcon headed sun god; or Horem-Akhet, Horus on the Horizon.

Young princes raised in Memphis came to the Sphinx to meditate upon the legitmacy of power.

Legend says the Thutmose IV built a stele between the feet of Sphinx following a dream in which the god Harmachis asked him to clear the sand between the feet in exchange for his royalty.

During the New Kingdom the Sphinx was seen as the Syro-Canaanite god Hurun.

When traveling in Egypt, we learned that you can make reservations for air travel and hotels online and then make your reservations through your hotels Concierge Services Department for tours of the area.

This has proven to be safe and secure for us, on our tours of Egypt, as well as in other parts of the world.

It also has given us a personal tour at our own pace instead of one of those rushed crowded group tours. Much more fun!

We have placed links to Priceline and to InterContinental Hotels Group on this page since they have given us our best deals in Egypt.
