More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of an air‑conditioned van onto the warm limestone of the Giza Plateau as the morning light sharpens the edges of stones laid down 4,500 years ago. The three great pyramids—Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure—rise blunt and deliberate against the sweep of the Sahara; nearby, the Sphinx watches the plain with a quiet, blasted face.
