http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphinx

The Sphinx, irrespective of the confusion about its purpose, is a majestic structure. It was apparently buried below the desert sand and was later excavated. The Sphinx is very near to the Giza Pyramids and entry tickets can be bought together. An evening laser show would also be a nice add-on.
