The plane lifts off over the Red Sea before dawn and Cairo unfolds beneath you: a wash of sand, the Nile's dark ribbon pulling life through the delta, then the Giza plateau jutting from the desert like a deliberate interruption. On this private day trip you step from airport rhythm into a landscape four millennia old — Khufu’s massive blocks stacked against the sky, the Sphinx staring east as if keeping time.
