You step out of the hotel into Cairo’s morning heat and the city swirls around you—call to prayer from a nearby minaret, the hum of traffic, and the distant slope of the Giza Plateau where stone giants await. Over seven days you move from that urban pulse to the Nile’s calmer current, following temples, tombs and a network of stories carved into sandstone and painted plaster.
