You step into an air-conditioned car and the city's pulse shifts—horns, vendors, and the distant silhouette of the Giza Plateau. The driver eases through Cairo traffic, and within half an hour the limestone giants appear: the Great Pyramid's angular shadow cutting across the desert, the Sphinx watching over the road.
