Light slants across the Giza plateau as the Great Pyramid’s outline sharpens against the morning sky. The smell of warm stone and diesel from Cairo’s roads gives way, over two days, to the slow green ribbon of the Nile and the monumental colonnades of Luxor — then finally to the dry, wind-polished beaches and turquoise reefs of Hurghada.

Bring local cash and small bills
Tipping is customary at sites and markets; ATMs exist but may be unreliable in remote areas.
