    This is what it says on his page

    http://www.billzilla.org/aviationpage4.html

    In mid-June 2007 I flew a few times into & out of Cairo, and I asked the air traffic controllers there to radar vector us over the pyramids. They did a great job of that and with the plane banked over the huge monuments were right under us as we turned to line-up with the runway.
    Yes, I knew they were big, but not that big!
    The other surprise is that they're pretty much surrounded by Cairo city. I'd always thought they were out of town some distance.

    Well if the Map is correct, it's about 15 kms, 10 miles, from the centre of Cairo

    When I went there I was amazed at how close they are to the city, and nothing could have prepared me for the scale. A truly awesome sight.
