No Experience Required

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.

History

The Giza complex dates to Egypt’s Old Kingdom (around 2600–2500 BCE); the pyramids were built as royal tombs, while the Sphinx likely protected the necropolis approach.
