Sunlight slants across wind-sculpted dunes as the sound of a distant engine threads between the Pyramids and the Sphinx. You step out of an air-conditioned minivan onto warm sand, trade the hum of the city for a more ancient cadence, then set off — first on foot with a guide through the Giza complex, then balancing on a camel for thirty minutes before throttling a quad across the open desert for an hour.
