After we got back from the North Coast it was time for some real sightseeing. With Heidi and Anas, I went to the Egyptian museum. There is sooo much to see there. Unfortunately it doesn't feel like a museum at all. It's more like walking through a warehouse stuffed with lots of very old, dusty things without much information. We paid a guide to show us around but he wasn't very good either.
We also went to the Pyramids in Giza. Impressive! So big and so old. I have no idea how they managed to build these. We hired a camel and a horse and went on a little tour around the pyramids with them. It was interesting to ride on a camel and we had a great day.
We also went to several mosques and walked around town. I also set out on my own one day to walk around Cairo. It was interesting to walk the busy streets and narrow lanes with market stalls. I was greeted many times by friendly people in English.
