The sun climbs over the Giza Plateau and the first silhouette you meet is not a building but a shape: the Great Pyramid rising like a deliberate question against the desert sky. You walk toward vast, cut limestone blocks, the scent of dust and diesel from nearby markets interlacing with the river air you’ll feel again after sunset on the Nile.
