The games

The real place

The limestone sphinx is generally dated to Khafre's reign. There is no explorable tomb beneath it; that is invented for the game.

Visiting

You see it from the viewing terraces beside Khafre's valley temple, not from inside the enclosure. It is covered by the main Giza plateau ticket.
