You leave Hurghada before dawn, the Red Sea coast shrinking behind the coach as the desert stretches ahead—silent sand flats and low scrub that seem to push you toward the rim of history. By midmorning you stand on the Giza Plateau: the Great Pyramid rises like a carved horizon, the Sphinx watches the traffic of tourists and time with measured patience.
