You step out of the car into the dry wash of a modern metropolis; Cairo smells of warm stone and diesel, minarets cutting the light like protractors. The first morning you walk toward the Giza plateau where the three main pyramids sit above the city skyline — the Great Pyramid once rose to about 146 meters and still holds a quiet, massive presence.
