You step off an air-conditioned vehicle onto a wind-swept plateau where stone meets sky: the three great pyramids of Giza rise blunt and geometric against the desert, their angled faces catching the sun. The Sphinx watches eastward, its limestone face wind-polished and inscrutable, while camels shift and snort at the edge of the complex, inviting the tourist pose.
