More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off a short domestic flight into the clamor of Cairo—air thick with dust and the steady rhythm of the city—then find yourself suddenly facing three millennia of stone. The Giza Plateau opens ahead: the Great Pyramid looms, the Sphinx watches with a steady, weathered stare, and a row of camels bobding in the flat light invite a slow, iconic ride.
