The sun has already warmed the limestone when you step from your vehicle onto the wide Giza plateau. Sand grinds softly underfoot, the three pyramids rising like engineered cliffs against an intense blue. A local Egyptologist walks you through the stones’ human scale and ancient measurements, and the desert wind seems to test your balance as quad tires bite into the packed sand.
