I missed the pyramids and Cairo this time, but your tips made me want to go back for them. ... was the camel ride really that bad? Maybe just because you had nothing good to sit on?

I enjoyed your Pyramids of Gizza Page very much. Your advice to learn to say 'no thank you' in the Arabic language "LAA SHOKRAHN" is a great tip.

a great page & excellent pics ! The pyramids are simply great in a distance - but the nearer you get the more ripp-off will be !! Somehow it was fine to get there with 600 people from the cruiseship - too many to be all hasseled ;-))
