Morning light slices across wind-scoured limestone as you step onto the Giza Plateau; the Great Pyramid casts a long, cool shadow while the Sphinx watches the city widen behind you. The tour moves at a measured pace—private car from Cairo or Giza, an Egyptologist to orient the stones, then a slower breath on a one-hour felucca where the Nile pulls you downstream.
