Giza is the west bank of Cairo, and its desert edge holds the Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx. A short drive away, the Grand Egyptian Museum shows Tutankhamun’s treasures; Marriott Mena House stands at the foot of the plateau, and Khufu’s serves dinner inside it. Nearer the river, the Four Seasons at The First Residence looks over the Nile and the Orman Garden.
