You step out of Cairo Airport into a warm, dust-tinged air that smells faintly of spices and petrol; the city hums and a private driver shepherds you straight to a five-star hotel for a night on the Nile. By morning the Giza plateau rises like a folded geography lesson—limestone faces catching light—while the Sphinx watches traffic and time with an unblinking patience.
