Cairo Pyramids - surrounding Giza city, with the city being very near

It is a common thought that the pyramids of Giza are located in the middle of the desert, but that is actually not true. The desert can be seen at one side of the pyramids, but the suburb of Giza is a fast developing area where construction is happening right next to the Pyramids. This photo is taken right next to the Great Pyramid of Cheops.
