The bus pulls away from the Sinai coastline at dawn and the desert opens like a book: miles of ochre sand interrupted by the squat silhouette of the Giza plateau. By midmorning you’re standing beneath the Great Pyramid, its geometry imposing and tactile, each limestone block a measure of ancient labor. The tour moves at a steady, purposeful pace—Giza’s collosal faces, the stoic Sphinx, then into Cairo’s layered streets where the Egyptian Museum’s gilded rooms hold objects that once served kings.
