Morning light hits the limestone faces of the Great Pyramid as you step onto the Giza plateau: wind skims the sand, and the silhouette of the Sphinx watches over a landscape that’s been occupied for millennia. The tour begins with an intimate guided walk among Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure—stones placed more than 3,800 years ago—where an Egyptologist explains construction theories, funerary rituals and the plateau’s shifting role between riverine civilization and desert frontier.
