You arrive at dawn on the Giza Plateau and the air is already warm; the pyramids rise like cut stone islands against a pale sky. Your private Egyptologist meets you at the van, and the day unrolls: the plateau’s wide gravel paths, the Sphinx’s weathered jaw, a camel turning its head as if to appraise you, then the thrum of quad tires across compact desert.
