Our Day In Cairo
Our first full day in the Middle East. On the bus by 8:00 a.m. Spent a few hours at the Egyptian Museum which houses thousands of artifacts that are thousands of years old… mummies, pharaoh statues, King Tut stuff etc. Then to Giza for a look at the pyramids and some camel riding for those not faint of heart. We saw the 3 largest pyramids in the world as well as The Sphinx. Then a little bit of shopping. Back at the hotel by 6:15 p.m. Nice to have a bit of a relaxing evening before a long drive day tomorrow as we head under the Suez Canal through the Sinai to Saint Catherines. Don’t know if web access will be available tomorrow night or not.
