Because it is now situated near to the city of Giza,

Really when it was called Giza, it was not a city, it was the end o of crossing the desert to arrive Nile valley, then crossing the last 10 chilometers from pyramids to arrive tha Nile itself then crossing it to go to Cairo city, or Fustat or Qataii cities who were the first arabic capitals of Egypt before building Cairo ( now they are small area of Cairo today )

At that time it was no city called Giza, Giza means cross, crossing the street, cross anything to arrive to other, zso pyramids were a sign to Arab travellers that they will cross the last area of their long travel and will arrive to the city.
