Lonely Planet review for Sphinx

Legends and superstitions abound about the Sphinx, and the mystery surrounding its long-forgotten purpose is almost as intriguing as its appearance. On seeing it for the first time, many visitors agree with the sentiments expressed by English playwright Alan Bennett, who noted in his diary that seeing the Sphinx is like meeting a TV personality in the flesh - always smaller than had been imagined.
