The sun slides low over the Giza Plateau, and the three pyramids sharpen into cutouts against a widening orange sky. Dust lifts from the path as a string of ATVs threads the ridgeline; voices fall away and all that remains is the slow, ancient silhouette of stone and a wind that seems to push you forward.
