Creator's Key Takeaways

It is just incredible. I'm sure there'll be so many incredible things that we'll see, but this is beginning of it.

That pyramid was quite the experience. There were 45 steep steps to go down and then more of an incline after that where you had to duck your head.

This was really a nice stop.

This is an amazing complex. Over a 100 acres, 100,000 things to see, all these different exhibits.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Watch your head and bend your back when descending into the pyramid tomb.
Find the toilets before getting back on the bus to ensure clean facilities.
Use the motor coach advantage to avoid shuttle buses at the pyramids.

YouTube Video Description

We explored Cairo for two days before flying to Luxor and joining a river cruise. All of this exploring was escorted by Viking, but my video could also. be helpful for anyone wanting to get ideas of things to do for a couple of days in this amazing city. We saw the pyramid tomb of King Teti and the tomb of his high priest, Kagemni. Then went to the amazing Step Pyramid of Sakkara. Had a buffet lunch at a resort, visited a carpet school to watch carpets being hand crafted. I even got to try my hand at it. We saw the Citadel and got to tour inside the Alabaster Mosque. On our second day we spent some good time at the amazing Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) and to the Great pyramids of Giza. Even rode a camel! Whew!
