You step off the plane into the dry brightness of Cairo and within an hour the desert horizon unfolds—triangular silhouettes rising from dusty earth, the Great Pyramid cutting a hard line against the sky. A private air-conditioned transfer threads through the city, and by the time the guide folds out a map, you’re standing on the plateau where three millennia of human ambition still refuse to quiet down.
