The Giza pyramids date to the Old Kingdom (around 2600–2500 BCE) when pharaohs built monumental tombs; Cairo’s urban fabric later layered Islamic, Coptic and Ottoman influences.
Conservation
High visitor numbers stress ancient stonework; follow site rules (no climbing on the pyramids), minimize single-use plastics and stay on marked paths to protect fragile archaeology.
