More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The sun drops low over the Giza Plateau and the pyramids shrink into hard, golden silhouettes — you sit in the sway of a camel or feel the steady trot of a horse as the desert exhales around you. Sand shifts underfoot and the three great pyramids — Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure — keep their slow watch, enormous and indifferent, while a local guide points out lines and shadows that reveal construction angles and quarry stone.
