A dog that made headlines this week when it was spotted prowling near the top of the Great Pyramid of Giza was spotted casually descending from the landmark.

This is the surprising moment a dog who made headlines this week when he was spotted loitering near the top of the Great Pyramid of Giza was seen casually descending the landmark.

One clip shows the pup running up the side of the pyramid, which stands at 481 feet, while casually navigating the large chunks of limestone.

The incredible moment was caught on camera on Wednesday by a tour guide, Lauren Rathvon, who shared the images online.

‘I saw this dog coming down from the Great Pyramid of Giza like it was nothing!’ he said.

“It’s just a hop, skip, and a jump for them.”

It comes after stunning footage captured on Monday showed paraglider Alex Lang flying over the Great Pyramid when he noticed movement at its apex.

Approaching the small flat space at the top of the brick structure, onlookers were stunned to see that it was a dog wandering around.

Following the surprising discovery at the top of the ancient monument, Lang said the dog had been barking at birds flying overhead when he saw the animal.

It was not immediately clear how the small dog managed to reach the top of the giant pyramid, or how long he was there.

It comes after paraglider Alex Lang filmed the structure as he flew over it before approaching an animal that had surprisingly made it to the top.

The Egyptian landmark was built more than 4,500 years ago and is one of the world’s top tourist spots, named as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

Today, the Great Pyramid is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, protected and preserved through ongoing restoration efforts.

Climbing the Great Pyramid of Giza, or any of the 118 Egyptian pyramids, is illegal.

For a chance to see what’s at the top of the landmark, many tourists often take paragliding tours around the structures, but they don’t often see canines up there.
