More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You leave the warm, Nile-scented air of Luxor before dawn, and by midmorning the flat, ochre plain of Giza opens under an enormous blue sky. The Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren and Mykerinus rise from the plateau like layered megastructures of ancient engineering; the Sphinx watches them with a stare that has witnessed millennia of caravans and empires.
