You step from a shaded hotel lobby into a low-slung Cairo morning, the city’s traffic fading as the driver threads toward the Giza Plateau. Sand loosens under the camel’s padded foot; the animal rocks forward with patient certainty, carrying you along the edge of one of the world’s oldest landscapes. The pyramids loom, geometry softened by desert light as a Bedouin guide moves beside you, offering stories and steady hands for first-time riders.
