The sun cuts across the open desert as the Pyramids of Giza rise in the heat-hazed distance; a private camel steps forward and the city’s noise falls away. Participants begin in an air-conditioned vehicle from Cairo or Giza and arrive at the plateau to meet the handler and camel for a calm, one-hour circuit that places the Great Pyramid, Khafre and Menkaure in a single sweeping view.
