Cairo: Into the Heart of the Pyramids

SYRIA | Saturday, 11 April 2009 | Views [111] | Comments [1]

Arrived Cairo this morning one and a half hours late due to delays at OR Tambo last night. This cut seriously into our Cairo sightseeing. However, we decided to forego breakfast at the Movenpick Pyramids Resort for breakfast boxes, and get stuck into sightseeing. Negotiating Cairo traffic was no mean feat! It has to be experienced to be believed! But worth it, for these monuments are absolutely awe-inspiring. They stand there out in the desert, monuments to an outstanding civilisation. We even got to going inside one of the pyramids. It was all rather whistle-stop rush sightseeing, but beat sitting around in Cairo airport for 7 hours. I must say, a lovely way to kill time. And no time for shopping!
