Cairo--A Photo Marathon!

What can I say....an AMAZING trip. Cairo is a city so unique, words can hardly describe it. There is history all around you and yet a modern city exists among it. All the hustle and bustle of New York, sitting a top of layers of thousand year old rocks and stone that still remain. The people are genuine and offer the epitome of hospitality.....again amazing!!!

We started at the Egyptian Museum..the mummies!!!!

Lunch at the Mena House Hotel with a view of the Giza Pyramids...

Notice the rice...
The view from the top!!!




























The view of the Nile from our Marriott Tower Hotel room..


City view...



Sakkara Pyramids, the oldest pyriamids in history...






Jake..making friends with a local boy, the boy is smiling because Mike just gave him some money because he was so excited and sweet!!




In a tomb...





On to Memphis...Armed tourist police were everywhere we went, most places also had metal detectors..this just gives you that warm and fuzzy reminder that we are in the middle east and very close to Israel!!






Lunch in Sakkara..at a "local" joint...
Old Cairo..down the stairs...










Police dogs to sniff out all the cars coming into hotels..the boys had fun with them!!





Bye, bye, Cairo..on our way home! Did I mention traveling with these two is like traveling with Brad Pitt,?? Egyptians loved them and their blonde hair, Jett must have had his head rubbed a thousand times!!
