More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto the early shuttle in Luxor before dawn, the Nile still blurred by streetlights, and within an hour the desert unspools beneath you as the plane approaches Cairo. At Giza the wind dares you to cross the western plateau for a first, unobstructed view of the Pyramids; the Sphinx watches the valley below like a slow-moving current of history.
