    Attractions & Landmarks

The Sphinxes are the most mystical creatures of ancient Egypt. By far the most famous Sphinx is that of Giza, however, this is far from being the only sphinx in Egypt. In fact, there are scores of Sphinxes all over the country. The Alabaster Sphinx is an impressive structure 8m long and 4m tall. This Sphinx is particularly special because it is made from alabaster - a material rarely used for construction. Alabaster is mythically associated, mythically speaking with the sun and solar powers. Well worth a visit.
