The camel waits at the edge of the plateau as the sun tilts toward the Nile; sand smells faintly of limestone dust and diesel from distant Cairo. You climb into the sway of the saddle, and the animal steps into the painted desert—each slow stride offering a new angle on the three great pyramids and the hulking gaze of the Sphinx.
