The sun slices across the Giza plateau as visitors step from an air-conditioned vehicle into a landscape that has watched empires rise and recede. Here the Great Pyramid holds quiet geometry against the sky while the Sphinx stares forward, sand brushing the edges of millennia. The day moves from the open, wind-swept grit of the necropolis to the cool, artifact-packed rooms of the Egyptian Museum, then into the dense lanes and glittering shops of Khan el-Khalili.
