More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You wake before dawn on the west bank of Luxor, palms silhouetted against a pale sky, and the balloons rise like slow, deliberate thoughts over the Valley of the Kings. Later you’ll feel the Red Sea’s current nudging a reef-diving mask as colorful fish braid around coral heads; in Cairo the Giza Plateau holds its patient geometry, stone blocks aligned to millennia.
