Egypt

On the last day of our Cairo Pass, we went back to where it all began. The Giza Necropolis. We first braved the crowds and entered the Great Pyramid. Squeezing our way past many people on there way out, we went to the last chamber where it was very warm. It was kind of fun to watch all the people along the way acting like they were coming out of a sauna.
Upon exiting, we were given postcards and head scarves. I dont think the vendor thought we would take him at his word when he said it was a gift. Soon after, we booked a camel ride for the two of us around a few pyramids and down to the Great Sphinx. After spending a few more hours walking around the necropolis, entering another pyramid and visiting some of the other tombs. We left, got some lunch, and ubered back to the Cairo bus station to secure tickets to Siwa. Since we still had a few hours before our passes expired, we headed to the Egyptian Museum so we could see the ground floor that we missed the first time around.
Pretty worn out from the day, and with Cairo in general, we decided to call it quits for the day. A koshary restaurant that had been recommended to us was within walking distance, so we headed that direction. Braving Cairo rush hour traffic, we walked to the restaurant only to pass a less famous place about a block earlier. We doubled back to the first place and ordered some food to go.
The traffic was barely moving on the street we were on, so we walked a few blocks and ordered an uber. It took two drivers to connect with one, but we did and headed home for the night.Läs mer
