Transportation: make like a camel...

    Getting TO/AROUND: Walk. That way you get to stop and look whenever something catches your eye.
    Avoid the camel and horse owners. They will try to trap you the moment you appear at the plateau.
    I shake my head and say "La, shuKraan'" and walk on, not taking any more notice no matter how persistent they get.

    Transportation: Horse and cart

  • 'Mode': AROUND

    Getting TO/AROUND: In spite of all the warnings about the camel and horse owners hassling for customers, when I took my daughter and grand-daughter to Giza, the little one insisted on having a camel ride, which turned out to be fun for them, and then the owner suggested we take a trip to a point where all the 9 pyramids could be seen.. This was great fun, with the horse galloping along, round bends and down hills pyramids and just when you thought you'd topple off a hill, it would stop. It must have been very well trained.
    So, I take back my doubt about using the transport available at the viewing point at least.

     Egypt is an amazing country and I think you are lucky to live there. Thanks for visiting my Cairo page. Yours is wonderful and I've already put on my wish list some other places I should visit next time.
