Pyramids

I forgot to post a photo of the meal from the top of the Sheraton Tower, but rest assured that it was nice but expensive and prices were quoted without the entertainment tax, service at 13% and VAT at 14% which adds up to quite a bit extra.

 And the next day was for being a tourist after so many weeks of being an overland or a traveller. SO nice to have a hot shower and clean and freshly ironed clothes. But I was still on the look out for beetles, and found some really nice examples such as this two tone outside the Agricultural Museum,

 a gold one,

 and a yellow one with alloys.

 And then the tourist stuff with a visit to the Cairo Museum. A baby sphinx outside the main door.

 The main entrance.

 For an extra fee you are able to take photos inside but I was listening so carefully to the guide that I forgot to take photos most of the time but I did get a few.

 And then it was off to see the pyramids at Giza, the main one.

 A close up of the two entrances, the main entrance with the sloping stones and the lower bottom right of the original entrance where for an extra fee you can walk into the pyramid to see the main chamber.

 A view of the corner of the main pyramid.

 The second pyramid with some of its facing stones still in place near the top.

 The two large pyramids from the view point.

 The head of the sphinx.

 And lastly a landscape photo of the sphinx.
