The morning light falls flat across the Giza plateau, illuminating edges of limestone blocks while dry wind pushes grains of sand against your ankles. On this private full-day tour an Egyptologist guides the group from the monumental geometry of the Great Pyramid to the guardian gaze of the Sphinx, then through the crowded galleries of the Egyptian Museum before a quiet 30-minute felucca glide on the Nile.
