The Giza complex is located outside Cairo and contains the the Sphynx, the three main pyramids, a dock complex, and other assorted buildings. There are supposedly housing and other buildings under the sand around the base of the pyramids, but permits to excavate are hard to get. All permits had to be approved by Egyptian Antiquities Director Dr. Zahi Hawas. He has apparently resigned during all of the civil unrest in Egypt, but I believe the next government will probably re-appoint him.
