Morning light slices across the Giza plateau as visitors step from an air-conditioned vehicle into the dust-scented air and confront stone older than most civilizations. On this four-day private Cairo itinerary, the city unfolds in layers: the vast, engineered silence of the pyramids, the glassed galleries of pharaonic treasures, and the winding lanes of Islamic and Coptic Cairo where prayer calls and market bargaining shape the day.
