My sister wrote today's blog... We started the day with a visit to the Giza pyramids and sphinx outside of Cairo.  These are the largest pyramids and one of the wonders of the world. These structures were built during the Old Kingdom 2700-2200 B.C. Each stone on the largest pyramid weighed 250 tons and the structure is over 400 feet high.  There is nothing to see inside the pyramids but we did take a camel ride around them and even got to trot a bit on the camels.  Next, we ...

Started our adventure in Cairo, then a 3 day cruise up the Nile and back to Cairo.

4 continents down, 3 to go!!! Just a few snapshots of where I've been over the past few years!

We visited the pyramids along with visiting Cairo. It was hot and crowed but definatly a place to visit... atleast once.

Continuing on from my last Egypt entry, the second day we spent in Cairo involved seeing the major sites including the pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx.  We stopped in Memphis to visit an outdoor museum which had pieces of sculpture during Ramses II’s rule.  There was a massive one inside an enclosed structure in which me and my friends took pictures with.  After our stop at the museum we went to see the very first step pyramid built.  There was a step pyramid and another...

Went to Egypt in April of 2001. Mostly in Cairo. My next trip to Egypt will be to Luxor sometime in early 2009.

After my high school graduation exams a few friends and I headed for Egypt to see some amazing culture in Cairo and beachlife in Sharm el Sheikh. I can really recommend Egypt for everyone who´s interested in the culture and like e.g snorkling!

In 2007 i went on a 16 country adventure through Europe and Egypt :) Being my first massive adventure i booked alot of tours and took taxis in the beginning which i discovered i don't enjoy doing. By the end i preferred just walking around discovering things myself.

A visit to one of the World's 7 Wonders in the Middle East. Egypt, one of the place where every travellers ever want to visit, has lots of unbelievably great history and unforgettable experiences for every traveller to explore. A visit to the Mummy Museum in Cairo is recommended (although they won't allow you to bring in your camera for taking the photo inside the meseum). Though there are lots of things in there that you would want to take b...

I spent 6 weeks this summer studying in Cairo at the "British Institute" in Mohandeseyn. I lived in an apartment in Dokki and explored the country every weekend.

This past summer my best friend and I lit out on an adventure from my childhood imagination to conquer a portion of the Dark Continent. It was a fantastic trip - not for the faint of heart - but soul filling nonetheless. Here are a few pics from the trip...

Hello All,Today was a big one everybody! This morning I took off at about 8am headed for the pyramids. I was armed with a hand drawn map from the concierge, and the security of being able to see my destination from wherever I was. Parking and entry was surprisingly easy. I paid a few egyptian pounds for the parking, and the about $6.50 for admission, and headed in.The whole site is an egyptian national park, and there are at least three large pyramids, many smaller ones, and the sphinx lo...

Five fantastic weeks through Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Turkey.
