You leave Hurghada before dawn, the minibus headlights slicing through predawn haze as miles of ochre desert roll by. By the time the sun lifts off the horizon the skyline of Cairo unfurls: low-rise brick, minarets, and then the sudden, immovable geometry of the Giza plateau—three pyramids anchoring the city’s ancient edge.

Start early and rest en route

Bring a filled water bottle, SPF 30+ sunscreen and a wide-brim hat—shade is limited on the plateau.
