More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Dust rises off the limestone plateau as you arrive at Giza; the sun picks out clean edges on three ancient pyramids while the Sphinx sits half in shadow, watching the steady stream of travelers. Day one moves at an unhurried pace—close-up views of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure, then a walk through the Egyptian Museum where gilded funerary masks and tomb finds make the past feel immediate.
