The heat hits first as you step from an air‑conditioned car onto the plateau where stone meets sky. Sand crunches underfoot and the three great pyramids rise in precise geometry—Cheops, Chephren and Mycerinus—each block bearing the slow imprint of four millennia. A guide trained in Egyptology routes you past the Sphinx’s limestone face, explains the iconography, and leads the group to a viewpoint where the pyramids line up like a deliberate statement against the horizon.
