Our first day was awesome! We started off visiting the Pyramids of Giza. Our schedule allowed plenty of time walk around, hear the history from our guide and take pictures. We have some talented bargainers in our group who entertained us with their skills.
Everyone took a camel ride at Giza. What a thrilling experience to see the pyramids while atop a camel. And to it all off, after that we saw the Sphinx - wow!
It was a good thing our Egyptian BBQ was inside because it rained during lunch. Luckily it stopped in time for our visit the step pyramid at Sakkara.
Our day ended at a carpet school - we saw some true artists at work and did some more bargaining.
Tomorrow the Citadel, Muhammad Ali Mosque and the Egyptian museum are on our agenda. We depart Cairo tomorrow evening on the overnight train to Luxor. No Internet on the train so it will be a couple of days before I am able to post again.
