You step into a corridor of late-afternoon light where sandstone turns to gold and the Nile throws a cool ribbon of reflection through the city. In Luxor, a three-hour field workshop bends attention to surfaces — the cracked plaster of a market stall, the stepped geometry of an ancient column, the silhouette of a felucca against sunset.
