You step off a morning ferry in Aswan and the Nile takes over the skyline — a slow ribbon of pale green framed by granite quarries and palms.

Over three days the landscape moves from the engineered sweep of the Aswan High Dam to the sunrise face of Abu Simbel, then eastward by first-class rail into Luxor’s temple fields.
