You step onto the Giza Plateau with the sun warming the limestone; wind pushes sand across ancient stone as the Great Pyramid rises like a deliberate machine of time. The Sphinx, face wind-polished and inscrutable, watches the parade of visitors while camels shift their weight and the plateau opens to long sightlines that frame all three pyramids in a single view.
