About

A spot where the sun sets directly behind the pyramids for much of the year; arrive 40 minutes early.

It is about a 12-minute walk from the Mena House roundabout, on Sphinx Square. Run by the same family since 2007, the team is used to welcoming visitors from all over the world and is happy to help in English and Arabic.

This is a fictional demo listing used to show how Giza Spot presents a place.
