You step out of a cooled vehicle onto hard-packed sand as the Great Pyramid fills the horizon — a flat-edged silhouette against Cairo’s late-morning sky. The air carries dust and the distant calls of vendors; camels stand patient near the plateau while your guide points out quarry marks and the careful geometry that still puzzles engineers.
