You leave the Red Sea coast before dawn, the plane climbing toward the wide Nile floodplain where history sits in stone. By midmorning the Giza plateau unfolds: three pyramids rise like deliberate machines, the Sphinx squints into the sun, and the plateau’s wind pushes dust along the desert as if clearing a path for you.
