You step from the airport into Cairo’s dry light and the city’s pulse—honking cars, the scent of spice, and a guide waiting with a name card. Within hours you’re staring at the Pyramids of Giza: stone faces that still push time forward, dunes that dare you to slow down. Over the next eight days the Nile threads the itinerary, carrying ancient temples toward the desert and the Red Sea.
