Photo Tips
| Angle | Position | Light |
|---|---|---|
| Classic profile | Terrace railing | Morning side light |
| Sphinx + pyramid | Slight elevation | Late afternoon warmth |
| Close textures | Side paths (permitted zones) | Soft overcast |
Bottom Line
Allow standalone time for the Sphinx—it tells a parallel story to the pyramids and rewards patient observation.
