The only well-presented museum - Military Museum, of course!

Day 1: Felucca on the Nile Day 2: Egyptian Museum - cameras not allowed Cairo Citadel One of the Citdeel's huge mosques Richard observing Cairo = smog and mosques Me and a friend The only well-presented museum - Military Museum, of course! Cairo at night, from out hotel Day 3: Pyramids of Giza Great Pyramid of Cheops RH and the Great Pyramid Camel rides, anyone? The Sphinx Sunset at Giza Sound and Light show - our host Kitsch but gorgeous Grand finale Day 4: The Step pyramid Nearby tomb Local graffiti Impressive wall scrawl Richard and his mates The Sahara Desert Heiroglyphics This is what's inside the massive Red Pyramid Ascending the pyramid Our host at the entrance Richard having a panic attack Now renamed "Paul's Pyramid" Local cops hard at work RH being 'escorted' around the Bent Pyramid ...which is bent! And just to prove a point! Day 5: Breakfast in Luxor View from our hotel Valley of the Kings Tutankhamen's tomb RH and I posing (very naughty!) Locals pretending to excavate Atop the Valley of the Kings My guide insisted I hold (and buy) this scarab; overlooking Luxor surrounds Tuthmosis IV tomb The Eyes of Horus, for real! Tuthmosis IV outer sarcophagus Ramses VI sarcophogus Ramses VI tomb Temple of Hatshepsut On a rather grand scale Watch out for Egyptians with machine guns (or bombs) Ramessuem Striking a pose Another sense of proportion HUGE statues Temple of Karnak More statues Enormous columns - we like!
