    The Mena House Hotel is located just outside Cairo, next to the pyramids. It was built on the site of an 1869 hunting lodge, and in 1890 opened Egypt's first swimming pool.

    The Great Pyramid of Giza (also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or the Pyramid of Cheops) is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex bordering present-day El Giza, Egypt. It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one to remain largely intact.
