Morning light breaks over the Giza plateau and the stones seem to hold their own breath. Visitors move between the three great pyramids while the Sphinx watches, its shadow shifting across sand smoothed by millennia. On this private three-day route an Egyptologist guides the pace: Dahshur’s awkward Bent Pyramid, Saqqara’s stepped geometry and the immensity of Giza give way to the Nile’s slower rhythm in Luxor.
