The sun lifts off the limestone plateau and the three pyramids cut crisp silhouettes against Cairo's morning haze. You step from the vehicle onto hard-packed sand; wind carries grit that scours the stone faces while vendors and guides set the day's rhythm. A fifteen-minute camel walk skirts the base of Khufu and Khafre—camel backs sway like slow metronomes as the Sphinx watches from its weathered throne.
