The monumental sculpture of the Sphinx, which still pleases us with its existence and is one of the points of the route of the Giza pyramid complex. You can get there from the ticket offices on a free bus that makes several stops, the sphinx will be the last of them. Passing through the temple of the Sphinx allows you to find yourself on a small observation deck, where there are always a lot of people, but you can take photos, since the circulation of groups is constant. Wooden paths are laid out under the paws of the sphinx, perhaps soon they will open up the opportunity to walk around it, but for now we are glad to see it at least from the observation deck.

It is a stunning architectural monument and has been preserved quite well. Definitely worth a visit. It's not as epic as the pyramids, of course, but you can do good photo shoots with it. But getting to the sphinx is a problem. You need to go through the maze of the temple, not around, there's only an exit. Narrow paths, you can't get close to the monument itself, you can only sit on chairs and watch the sunset for a fee in the evening, and crowds of tourists are forced to walk through a narrow gate. It's inconvenient. There are also a lot of intrusive merchants around. But in general, the impressions are positive. It's relatively clean.
