You kick the gearbox and the desert answers: dust rises in a wide, ochre ribbon while the three pyramids stand like time-worn markers on the skyline. Riding a quad around the Giza Plateau places you close enough to feel the scale of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure while the wind pushes you along sandy tracks that skirt the archaeological edge.
