Giza Plateau

Why go

The three royal pyramids make more sense together: subsidiary pyramids, tombs, temples and causeways reveal a planned burial landscape. Walk between the major monuments to compare their scale and positions, then look east toward the Sphinx. The open plateau calls for a deliberate route and protection from the sun.

What to look for

• Compare the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure across the plateau.
• Look for smaller subsidiary pyramids and mastaba tombs near the royal monuments.
• Trace how temples and causeways connected the pyramid complexes.

Useful to know

• Plan a route across the plateau before focusing on individual monuments; the site covers much more than one pyramid.
• Check the official site information for gate and monument access before setting out.
