The Great Sphinx: The Guardian Facing the Sunrise
- Islamic Cairo: The Medieval City Along al-Muizz Street: Read one of the world's oldest living Islamic cities along a single medieval street, from its northern gate to its southern one, past a thousand years of mosques, markets, and mausoleums that never stopped being used.
- Giza: The Pyramids and the Sphinx: Read the Giza plateau not as three shapes on a poster but as a planned royal cemetery built to outlast time, from the mountain of stone Khufu raised to the guardian lion carved from living rock and the new museum that gathers the treasure home.
