The first glimpse of the Giza Plateau arrives like a hard-edged silhouette: sun-baked limestone, the Great Pyramid rising against Cairo’s haze, and the Sphinx facing the desert as if holding its own counsel. Visitors step from an air-conditioned vehicle into wind that dares you to slow down — camels shift, sand sifts along the stones, and the scale of human ambition becomes immediate.
