To look over the fence and down into the shaft, you need to step up on the concrete ledge. Or you can peer through the bars of the fence. The shaft is actually two shafts, or has two halfs, divided by a center rough 'wall' which does not reach to the top of the shaft. The shaft is approx 5 meters deep at current depth. Wind-blown sand covers the remainder depth.
Wind also blows in debris and trash, which is removed from the area frequently.
The glass soda bottle on the center wall can give a visual reference of the approx size of the shaft and within. 3 niches or 'cutouts' can be seen on the north side of the center wall. There are numerous shafts on the plateau with steps going down them. You are looking almost vertically down. If you lifted your head up and looked horizontal, you would be facing west at the east side of the Great Pyramid.
