       Yaqut al-Hamawi mentioned it in the dictionary of countries, and he said: Giza in the language of the Arabs means the valley, which means the best place in it, and Giza is a country on the Nile in the west of the city of Egypt opposite it. In Al-Maqrizi plans, he said: Giza is the side and the side of the valley, and Al-Jiz is the side of the valley, and it may be said in it Al-Jiza, and Al-Jiza is the name of a large, beautiful village on the Nile from its western side towards the city of Fustat, Egypt.
