The sun leans low over ochre dunes as you straddle a quad, wind cutting across the flat expanse while the Pyramids loom like stone giants to the north. Engines thrum; sand shifts under tires. In a private hour of guided riding you move where many visitors never go — along ridgelines that frame the Great Pyramid and across open desert that dares you to push a little harder.
