The morning light hits the limestone faces of the Great Pyramid and the desert seems to dare you to step closer. From a hotel pickup in Cairo the day unfolds across two millennia: a panoramic view of Giza’s plateaus, a brief camel ride circling the pyramids, a walk past the Sphinx and into the Valley Temple, then a drive back into the pulse of downtown to the Egyptian Museum and finally the wooden nave of the Hanging Church in Coptic Cairo.
