It will come as no surprise to learn that the largest items on my bucket list while in Egypt were the pyramids. They did not disappoint. Larger than I ever imagined, they rose majestically from the desert sands, where they have been standing since approximately 1000 years before the time of Moses.
At the site of the pyramids Paul took a camel ride. I took pictures.
The Sphinx was a surprise. Much larger than I anticipated.
Imagine them originally covered in polished limestone. The step pyramid, the earliest attempt at a huge tomb, has always intrigued me.
The best picture I could get of all three. If you're guessing that it was HOT and sunny you are right. It was easy to accept that we were in the Sahara desert.
