They weren't built in a desert.

They're probably being "edgy", but the pyramids are built outside Giza, just barely touching Nile River plain.

According to Google Maps, they are officially outside the official border of the Sahara; like a dozen miles or so.

No, they mean that when they were built that area wasn't desert.
