A morning in Luxor begins with a driver holding a nameplate in the hotel lobby while the city’s heat slowly asserts itself. The vehicle eases out of the Nile valley, and the cultivated ribbon of fields gives way to a broad, sun-baked sweep of the Eastern Desert. The road rolls past low basalt ridges and salt flats; dunes and scrub, not cliffs, define the horizon.
