A morning lift-off from Hurghada drops travelers into Cairo’s low-hanging haze; within an hour the Nile’s broad ribbon uncoils and the city’s layered skyline resolves into stones older than language. At Giza the desert opens like a page: the pyramids loom—geometric, wind-polished—and the Sphinx watches the approach with lion-strength and human calculation.
