You arrive before the gates open, Cairo shrinking behind you as the road unfurls toward Alexandria's greener edge. The park's river runs like a cool spine through the valley, hippos and crocodiles claiming channels while giraffes and zebras drift across open grass. Birds—falcons and native waterfowl—quarter the sky, and the air carries the dry, sun-warmed scent of grass and dust.
