A low eastern sun throws long shadows across the Giza plateau as the group steps from the coach and the scale of the pyramids snaps into shape — sheer, geometric, and oddly modern against a sky tinged with dust. Over three days this private tour moves between bright open desert, crowded museum halls and the wind-swept Mediterranean edge of Alexandria, giving a compact, paced introduction to Egypt’s ancient centers.
