The Pyramids


Katie: You would never know it and can't tell form this picture, but the great Pyramids of Giza sit just outside of Cairo, on the western edge of town. In fact if the pollution is not too bad I can see them from the autostrad on my way home from work some days.




The Sphinx kissing Ruby on the head. The sphinx is a lion body with a pharaoh's head. His nose is worn off because of the wind.


Soooo cheesy!


Ruby and Paul in a carriage in front of the smallest pyramid at Giza which is called Menkaure.


Ruby and an Egyptian friend in front of the step pyramid in Saqqara.

Ruby riding a camel around the step pyramid at Dahshur


I think some people said they would pay money to see Paul on a camel - I'm expecting to cash in big on this. Peg???
