Sand probably was problem but not as it is today. The Giza plateau in ancient times got it's share of sand storms more than likely but there was a wall around the pyramids which is no longer there. I read an article about an Arab official that ordered one of the pyramids dismantled and they gave up after giving it a good try. Recent findings indicate that the pyramid at Abu Rawash north of Giza was completed but later razed to the ground as a source for stone. Only the entrance ramp below the pyramid has survived.
