The day opens on the Giza Plateau with sand underfoot and the same wind that has moved dunes around the pyramids for millennia. From the hotel lobby a private minivan ferries the group to the panorama point where the three pyramids—Khufu (Cheops), Khafre (Chephren) and Menkaure (Mycerinus)—rise from the limestone plateau like ancient machines of motionless purpose.
