You arrive at the edge of the Giza Plateau as the sun sharpens the angles of limestone and sand; camels shift and sigh, their shadows cutting across the wide, open plain. The Great Pyramid rises ahead — a machine of stone that still orders the horizon — while your private Egyptologist guide places the monuments into human time, not myth.
