Sand and stone shape the morning light at Giza: camels shift, guides gesture, and the Great Pyramid throws a long, geometric shadow across a plateau that has seen four millennia of footsteps. The tour moves with that same slow certainty — first the panoramic sweep of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure, then the sphinx’s carved gaze, followed by the compact, older world of Saqqara and the ruined capital at Memphis.
