Meanwhile, further up the Nile in Egypt...

Today we visited the Pyramids of Giza.  The biggest one is for Khufu and we went inside.  Don't worry, we didn't get caught in any of the traps they built for grave robbers, but we did have a very personal experience with this Pharoh's coffin.  We drove camels!


This is Kefere's Pyramid, but we didn't go inside it. It is the 2nd tallest.

  2. Do camels wear shoes like horses, or are they barefoot?

  4. These pictures are super! How amazing to be so close to the pyramids. Is riding a camel fun? Did they try to run away?
