The Pyramide Inside Gizeh Pyramids Review

<b><font color=blue> Get inside </b></font> the pyramide of <b><font color=fuchsia> Mycerinus</b></font>!
The local who lead us in turned out to be a <b><font color=blue> joker</b></font>! He didn't want to let us out <b><font color=blue> without a dollar</b></font>!

Perfume Factory

If you have time, visit the <b><font color=blue> Perfume Factory</b></font>.
There they make essences for further perfume production. <b><font color=blue> Dear ladies, do try the blend 'SECRET OF THE DESERT' - it's great!!!</b></font>

Egyptian Cartouch

Order <b><font color=blue> a special Egyptian souvenir </b></font> - have your name (or the name of the person you love) written on a silver or gold plate <b><font color=blue> in Hierogliphic letters</b></font>. It is called <b><font color=blue> Cartouch</b></font>. Chartouches date back to the times of pharaohs, the latter always had their names written on pieces of papyrus.

The Egyptian Museum Egyptian Museum Review

<b><font color=blue> The Egyptian Museum </b></font> is probably one of the most important attractions for visitors in Cairo.
It contains <b><font color=blue> a vast collection of pharaonic antiquities </b></font> in its 100 exhibition rooms, notably the treasures of <b><font color=blue> Tutankamen</b></font>. If you get a museum catalogue, it is not too difficult to identify the objects. It seemed strange to me that Cheops who owns the highest of the pyramids is presented in the museum only by a small statuette of ivory.

The Papyrus Factory.

<b><font color=blue> The Papyrus Factory</b></font>.
You'll watch <b><font color=blue> the process of papyrus making </b></font> and can buy one of the pictures drawn on papyrus, which is a nice souvenir from Egypt.

A Souvenir Shop

Don't miss a <b><font color=blue> souvenir shop</b></font> to buy one of those pretty things to remind you of your trip. I bought a cute figure of a cat.
