Our first glimpse of the Pyramids was from the side of the road. This is on the edge of Cairo. I was surprised to find cultivated fields of produce between apartment buildings on the outskirts of the city.
The Tourism Police had a significant presence at the Pyramids site and many of them were on camels!
This is part of my group on the Great Pyramid. I'm in the white, second from left. We're about as high as you can go on the pyramid.
Our smooth talking bus driver managed to negotiate horses for us at a reasonable rate which allowed us to tour the pyramid site via horseback rather than walking. It worked out well and it was so hot that we were thankful to not be walking.
In front of the Great Pyramid!
Walk like an Egyptian!
