The motorcoach eases away from Alexandria Port and the Mediterranean slides out of sight—a flat, sun-bleached highway that leads straight into layers of Egyptian history. Three hours of roadside olive groves and ribboned farmland end at the bustle of Cairo; from the port to the museum halls the day moves from sea air to cool display cases and the hush of vaulted galleries.
