You step off the plane into Cairo’s dry heat and within hours stand before stone giants — the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx keeping slow watch over the desert edge. Later you trade the city’s chaotic pulse for the Nile’s steady current, boarding a mid‑river cruise where the river pushes you gently upriver toward Aswan, Edfu and Luxor.
