Giza Central Field, Cairo, Egypt (Rock cut tombs, Tomb of Khentkawes, Eastern Cemetery, Village of Nazlet el-Samman)

---

Giza Central Field covers the area roughly between the pyramid causeways of Khafre and Menkaure. The area can be explored by beginning behind Khafre’s Valley Temple, although parts of it are often fenced off when excavations are being carried out. At this eastern end the tombs seem to be a jumble of rocks, some still buried by sand and others partly uncovered.
