They are the Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaura. These tombs belong to three main kings of Egypt and in front of all these pyramids lay the Sphinx. They are so massive that you can see them from your flight if you are flying over or from miles away. However do to come into the misunderstanding that if you have seen one pyramid then you have seen them all. Several tourists mistake the tombs and miss out on a lot of stuff. Every tomb has a different story to tell and a unique one.
