The engine kicks and the desert opens like a page. Riders learn to handle the quad at a small center, then peel away across hard-packed sand and wind-sculpted ripples on a plateau that looks down on the three pyramids of Giza. The pyramids loom ahead, a slow-moving skyline; the desert's heat and dust lend urgency to every turn.
