You step out of the air-conditioned car and the desert wind immediately takes the measure of you — fine sand pushing at your shoes, the sun flattening shadows against the limestone. The three great pyramids of Giza rise ahead: Khufu’s massive silhouette holding the sky, Khafre’s profile still crowned with casing-stone, and the smaller Menkaure cut in sharp relief. Nearby, the Sphinx watches the approach with a patient, almost human curiosity.
