Great Pyramids Resort
"Love Among the Ruins"
Archaeological evidence suggests that the ancient Egyptians were among the first cultures to play ball games, but the pharaohs whose mummified remains were once laid to rest in the Nile Valley would no doubt be shocked to see 21st-century tourists whacking tennis balls in the shadow of the Great Pyramids.
The two floodlit courts at Le Meridien Pyramids, a posh resort hotel with 523 rooms and suites, are so close to the renowned ruins that a wayward backhand could almost bounce off the weathered nose of the Great Sphinx.
