Giza, Memphis and Saqqara Egypt

We arrived back in Cairo around 11am yesterday and got checked into Marriott Cairo Hotel and Casino around 12:30. We had a dinner cruise down the Nile River last night and spent the day catching up on emails and IM'ing with friends & family. The dinner cruise was very nice and had some good entertainment (singers - not so great, belly dancer & Egyptian dancers - great).


We had an all-day tour to Giza, Memphis, and Saqqara today. Giza is only 30 minutes away from Cairo by car and is best known for the Pyramids of Giza, situated high on the desert plateau immediately to the west of the urban district. Kim and I took a camel ride through the Sahara desert to see more of the pyramids. It was truly a once in a life time experience.
