The sun tilts low over the western desert as you step from a private vehicle onto the warm stone of the Giza Plateau. Pyramids project above the haze — massive, geometric, and indifferent — while the Sphinx fixes its steady gaze across the sands. Camel handlers call softly at the edge of the crowd; the city of Cairo murmurs in the distance beyond the plateau.
