You step out of an air‑conditioned car into a wash of ochre light as the Giza Plateau opens before you — three pyramids cutting sharp lines against a wide sky, the Sphinx watching like an ancient guard. The tour moves at a deliberate pace: panoramic viewpoints, close walks around the stones, then back into the city to a museum filled with pharaonic treasures and a short, gentle cruise along the Nile.
