More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of an air‑conditioned car and the plateau opens: a row of colossal limestone blocks catching a hard, dry light while a guide’s voice threads history between the stones. The Great Pyramid looms nearest, its rough outer casing long-sheared but its scale undiminished; the Sphinx sits watchful, sand at its paws and traces of ancient paint in the shadows.
