More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You lift off from the Red Sea coast before dawn and land in a different century: the Giza Plateau rising out of the desert, the three great pyramids cutting clean silhouettes against a low, dusty sun. The air is dry and the stone is warm; the Sphinx watches as you move from one monument to the next, while the city hums beyond the plateau.
