Morning light along the Nile throws a golden edge across palm groves as you step off the air-conditioned van onto soft, trodden earth. The West Bank’s fields open slowly—rows of vegetables, date palms swaying, and a farmhouse where conversation and the scent of fresh mint promise a simple, human counterpoint to Luxor’s stone giants.
