The last light spills across the plateau and the Pyramids cut long, precise shadows into the sand. You move closer than the usual overlook — footsteps crunch on packed limestone, a camel sways beneath you, and the desert wind seems to push the horizon a degree further each minute.

Bring sunscreen and a brimmed hat
