Feature. Africa, home of heritage

It’s Friday morning in Giza, Cairo. Abou al Hool street is a hive of activity with scores of people getting out of buses and taxis to stand in line at the entrance of the Giza pyramid complex. Inside, camels take visitors around the complex, from the grand pyramid to the smaller ones, and finally, to viewing points. There are families, couples, schoolchildren, tour groups, content creators, and solo explorers. Along Abou al Hool, there are shops selling perfumes, rugs, traditional clothes and jewelry. There are also countless hotels and rooftop cafés that entice visitors to stay longer with epic views of pyramids, while horsedrawn carriages are on hand for a tour of Giza beyond the monuments.
