The morning light hits the Giza Plateau and the stones throw long, patient shadows — you stand on warm limestone while the city of Cairo hums beyond the desert horizon. A private vehicle collects you, and the guide's voice folds history into the view: colossal faces carved by human will, streets threading back toward the Nile.

History
The Giza Plateau served as a royal necropolis during Egypt’s Old Kingdom; the pyramids and nearby tombs were constructed as monumental funerary complexes roughly 4,500 years ago.
Conservation
Tourism and urban expansion stress the plateau’s archaeology; follow designated paths, avoid touching ancient stones, and support guides who practice low-impact site visits.
