The sun tilts sharp across the Giza Plateau as you step from an air-conditioned vehicle into a landscape that has measured millennia. Sand sifts at the edges of ancient stone; the Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure stand like crafted geometry against sky, while the Sphinx watches the horizon with an unreadable calm. A thirty-minute camel ride lets the desert nudge your pace, the animal’s slow rhythm setting a human counterpoint to the massive, engineered lines of the tombs.
