Giza is a city that is right next to Cairo. The nile separates the two cities. The city's traffic is pathetic. Plan for double the time if you really have a... plan. 

 While in Cairo, we wouldn't want to miss the Great Pyramids of Giza & the Museum where the mummies are on display. Of course cameras are not allowed inside the museum. While at the museum, don't miss the golden mask of king Tutenkhamum. Other than that, Cairo has very little to offer. A stroll in the evening on the banks of Nile could be a little dangerous. But the local food is great.

 The Great Pyramids of Giza includes three mega structures accompanied by three smaller pyramids. The smaller pyramids are probably the tombs of the wives of the king Menkaure

 Pyramid of Khufu - The largest of the Giza Pyramids.
Camel Rides that take you into the desert behind the monuments. Behind the camels, the pathway into the pyramids is visible. This was a makeshift entrance into the pyramids and not the actual entry.





The Pyramid of Khafre -  The second largest of the Giza Pyramids and the only one that still has a little bit of the outer coating.




Pyramid of Menkaure - The smallest of the three great Pyramids of Giza. Apparently, there is a vertical dent in one of the faces of the pyramid that was caused during one of the attempts to destroy it.
