| From Cairo, Egypt - Day 1 |
Good evening,
We had an amazing day today as we toured Cairo for the first day. We got to sleep, as you saw in my previous post this morning, around 6:30am and we were up at 8:30am. We began our tour as we approached the Citadel and toured Mohammed Ali's mosque. Wow! What a beautiful place to begin our tour as it is filled with such rich religious culture.

We then ventured to a really neat place to eat lunch that served us some very authentic Egyptian food. We ate food such as bubaganoosh, tahina, and some falafell. It was absolutely delicious! Our bellies were full as we traveled to our next stop which was at the Step Pyramid where we saw some unbelievable hieroglyphics. Unfortunately we were not able to take pictures while in this pyramid but we were able to sneak a quick video of a little adventure we took. We went into a the Pyramid of Titi where you could not enter unless you scrouched down for an extended period of time in some very hot tunnels. Check out some brief footage I was able to sneak while coming out of this temple.
Here is a nice picture we took while at the Step Pyramid.

This looks amazing! I hope you're all having a great time. Hopefully you'll get some much needed sleep tonight.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see a photo of Abby on a camel. The only thing better would be sound so I could hear the squeals :)
We loved the pictures so far! It looks absolutely amazing! Little Bean didn't see anything nearly that exciting at Mammoth Park Jenny and Jamey.

This is the trip of a lifetime. Enjoy every minute and just soak in all the ancient culture. I'm envious. Wish I was there. Next best thing is to experience it through your eyes. Keep us posted.
