- DestinationsTwo days in Cairo, properlyA two-day Cairo plan that works: Giza and the GEM on day one, then either Saqqara and Dahshur or the old city — plus where to stay and why it matters more than it sounds.
- DestinationsPyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum in one dayHow to fit Giza and the GEM into one day without ruining both: which to do first, what to see inside the museum when you only have three hours, and whether going inside a pyramid is worth it.
DestinationsSaqqara: the first pyramid anyone ever builtDjoser's Step Pyramid, Imhotep's stone imitation of a world made from reeds, the seventy-tonne sarcophagi of the Serapeum, and the relief-carved tombs you can still have to yourself.
