You step off the paved approach and the plateau opens: hard limestone underfoot, wind shaping clouds of sand that briefly erase the horizon. The Great Pyramid looms like a quiet machine—angles sharp, shadowed faces shifting with the sun—as your photographer guides you through vantage points where the Sphinx and Khufu line up in a single frame.
