Let’s go to the pyramids. Start the day with early breakfast and visualize the goal.
Pyramids in the top right
The minibus is 7 pounds but it’s far from the destination. Uber is super convenient to use in Cairo and it’s fairly cheap (100 to 250 pounds).
Entrance fee for the pyramids is 700EGP (12.5€) for foreigners.
Next two photos are just stray cats 😺😸
Society is the pyramid scheme

The stones of the pyramid are huge.
Pyramid up close
The sphinx is smaller and less impressive than expected.
There are many camels for the tourist. The camels are very chill. Some camels can cross your path if the humans didn’t tie them up properly.
On the building “Sational Election Authority”
On the truck “Cash. Cash Solutions”
After moving my backpack to the city center hostel I went to the old museum.
I believe this table was used for offerings to gods. The blood would drain.
How can wood be preserved?
There are an uncountable amount of blocks with inscriptions in this museum.
4500 years old
Southern ancient Egyptian hat style
Northern cylindric hat style
The stone tables often include depictions so they are somewhat readable even by me.
Here I believe the heart of the deceased is weighted against a feather on judgement day.
Tablet
Some statues are deliberately defaced or capitated.
Nose?
Draining blood from an Altar
Smooth Egyptian basin
Hippo
Beautiful stone
Greco-Roman statues are less displayed in the museum
Maze
Female child in a natural position
Sarcophagus are put in sarcophagus like an onion
Translucent vase
There are so many items to see in the museum. Small and big.
Common room in the upper level
Impression way home
Dogs in the shade
Finally spotted two dogs on cars in a row
Walking along the Nile
Tipping almost 200% for dinner (paid 5.5€ total) for two.
