A low sun gilds the desert as you swing up onto a camel’s broad back and the pyramids resolve from heat-hazed geometry into stone giants. The animal shifts, slow and deliberate, and the sand beneath seems to hold the pace of centuries; the Sphinx stares ahead as if measuring your arrival. This is not a rushed visit but a measured crossing of an ancient landscape.
