You climb into a private vehicle while the Red Sea light still hangs low, and the highway unfurls across desert flats toward the Nile valley. By mid-morning the river appears like a green ribbon daring the sand to stay away; by afternoon, stone colossi and cedar-shaded avenues of sphinxes ground you in a human story older than most maps.
