Thursday, March 12, was our second and final full day in Cairo, Egypt.
We spent most of the day looking at several pyramids and ancient sites in and around the city.
Among them included: Saqqara (the first pyramids in Egypt), the ancient city of Memphis and finally the Giza Pyramids & the Sphinx.
It was awesome to see and experience these great wonders that date back to 5,000 years ago!
Our group was privileged to go down into a few of the tombs, while others had the chance to ride camels across the desert (see my photos posted earlier).
The souvenir vendors were pretty aggressive at each location we visited. Therefore, there were a lot of gifts purchased for friends and family back home.
At the Great Pyramids at Giza, a few of our team traveled inside the largest one of the three pyramids.
We ended the day with a dinner cruise on the beautiful Nile River.
Today, we’re leaving Cairo and heading across the desert for Mt Sinai. We’ll stay there overnight before heading onto Israel.
I will keep you posted.
In Him,
Greg Herriford
