In mid-March, Jeremy and I visited Egypt. We had planned to go previously - before the revolution broke out - so we were glad to have a renewed opportunity to go.
First stop, of course, was the pyramids. We climbed on the pyramids, walked the tunnels inside them, took pictures in front of them, and fended off the vendors trying to sell us all manner of souvenirs.
Next to the pyramids is the sphinx, which offered a great photo opp even though the sphinx long ago lost its nose.
Leaving Giza, we headed south to Luxor. Soon enough, Jeremy found a coffee shop where he smoked some shisha. He also couldn't walk away without buying a shisha pipe of his own.
Much of our tour involved visiting temples. Here's a great pic of Jeremy standing on our Nile cruise boat with Kom Ombo Temple in the background.
Our trip ended with one final night in Cairo, including a sunset visit to Al-Azhar park, where I hammed it up for the camera with our fellow traveler Javier.
If you haven't been to Egypt, go now! Prices are low and the tourist industry is hungry for visitors!
This is awesome! On my bucket list!!! So jealous :)

ReplyDeleteSo glad you had the opportunity to visit there! We went when we were stationed in Sanaa, Yemen -- twice! The second trip was to Sharm el Sheik and a special visit to St. Catherines in the Sinai.
