Sand and stone meet the sun as you step onto the Giza Plateau: wind-scoured blocks rise like the bones of an ancient city, and the Sphinx watches with a weathered, human eye. The tour unfolds at a steady pace—first the three great pyramids (Khufu, Khafre, Menkaure) towering above the horizon, then a short transfer to the Grand Egyptian Museum, where modern galleries collect millennia into glass and light.
