We started the actual tour today, with a trip to Giza to see more pyramids. Driving out to Giza was pretty surreal. One minute we’re in deepest suburbia, then we looked out the window and saw the outline of pyramids, right next to us!
We went into the second pyramid to have a look. Pretty freaky to think about all those tonnes of rock above us. There wasn’t much left inside to see, but it was certainly interesting to get the claustrophobia going for a while. Once again the place was full of touts offering camel rides, photos etc, but we avoided most of them.
Next stop, Sphinx! It was amazing to see all these icons up close. Wow!
Tonight we take the night train down to Luxor. Happy New Year!
