More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The sun climbs slow and golden over the Giza plateau; sand gathers at the base of stone giants while a caravan of camels rocks beneath the heat. On a three-day, private circuit from Cairo you move from the hush of tomb chambers to bustling city streets, the air alternating between incense, diesel, and sea salt as you drive north to Alexandria.
