More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The wind in the open desert pushes the sand in slow, rippling sheets as you ease onto a quad and point toward the silhouettes of the Great Pyramids. Ride along a low plateau above Cairo where the pyramids—Cheops, Chephren and Mykerinos—loom like stone answers to the horizon, catching early gold or late-orange light depending on your timing.

History
The Giza Plateau is part of a 4,500-year-old necropolis built during Egypt's Fourth Dynasty; the pyramids were constructed from nearby limestone quarries and aligned to cardinal points.
Conservation
Operators should follow designated tracks to reduce dune erosion and avoid driving over sensitive archaeological features; visitors are asked not to climb on the pyramids and to take all trash with them.
