Cairo Egypt

Pyramids of Giza, the oldest Pyramids in Egypt, mind blowing how they created these, the wheel hadn't even been invented, Massive rocks brought in from hundreds of miles away to chip and fit to build these truley magnificient structures, they used to be covered in Lime and glowed with a triangluar tip of a metal that was a becon to space, all placed according to celestial points. The Sphinx equally mind blowing, but so much damage from thousands of years of feudalism. From days of the greatest creations of mankind on earth to today, massive poverty in Egypt today, 28 Million people in Cairo alone, Whew!! Overwhelming and not safe for tourists, lots of harrassment on the streets, you need a guide to be safe! 8 Egyptian pound to 1 NZ dollar - $20 equals a pile of notes there! Security in our hotels intensive. The war of Israel and Gaza broke out 2 days after we returned home!!Read more
