The day begins before dawn in Hurghada: a private transfer hums away from the Red Sea hotels, the desert pressing close as the plane lifts toward Cairo. On the Giza Plateau, wind and sand bring the pyramids into sharp relief — the blocks seem to hold their own gravity — while the Sphinx watches the city spread below. Cairo’s streets and markets push and pull you in equal measure: the Egyptian Museum’s dim galleries shelter centuries of carved stone, while Khan el‑Khalili still smells of coffee and spices.
