The morning air on the Giza Plateau bites with dry heat and dust; the three great pyramids rise like stacked geology against a flat desert horizon while camels shift and grumble nearby. You start with a private pickup in Cairo, arrive to the plateau, and the scale of the Old Kingdom’s necropolis becomes immediate — massive blocks of limestone, angled faces catching late-morning light, and the Great Sphinx watching over ancient sands.
