it was windy! |
The Cairo Museum is the first stop today. This is more like a warehouse than a museum – there is ‘stuff’ everywhere. This place is truly amazing. This is like what I would expect the storage areas of museums to be like. We walk around with our guide for about half of our time there (which is only 2 hours and doesn’t seem nearly long enough.) He tells us details about what we are looking at and the stories behind these details.
Next we are off to the requisite ‘shopping-stop’ then to lunch followed by the pyramids and the sphinx. The pyramids are huge – as expected as is the sphinx. One thing that did surprise me was how close they are to Cairo. I expected a drive to the desert...but they are really part of Cairo - technically Giza on the other side of the river from Cairo.
Our trip to Luxor and Cairo was amazing. We got to see some unbelievable things and had a great experience.
