1000places > GIZA - To keep the Giza sand outside where it belongs, we had to don cloth "footies" while touring the Solar Barque museum. They did add a certain fashion flair.
1000places > DOES SIZE MATTER? - The third and smallest of the Giza pyramids was built by Menkaure, who was likely Khafre&#8217;s son. Why so much smaller? Perhaps Menkaure was running out of space....
1000places > We also couldn't resist posing in front of the great icon of ancient Egypt.
1000places > Who wouldn't want their photograph in front of such a famous backdrop?
1000places > GIZA PLATEAU - Prior to our visit, we had expected to see nothing but the Pyramids atop the Giza Plateau, but in walking around the massive structures we were surprised to discover that Pyramids did not stand alone. They are part of a complex of buildings which included temples, chapels, massive walls, and other tombs.
1000places > GIZA PLATEAU - In the afternoon of our first full day in Egypt, we made our way to the country's s signature attraction: the Pyramids of Giza &#8211; perfect in form, massive in size, the ultimate expressions of the pharaohs&#8217; quest for eternity.
1000places > GIZA PLATEAU - As we left the Giza Plateau, we looked back to see a camel-mounted guard keeping a solitary watch. We wondered if he perhaps was imagining the millions of visitors who for nearly 4,000 years have walked the rocky trail in front of him.
1000places > GIZA PLATEAU - In our early morning visit to the Pyramids, we took advantage of the lack of crowds to set up a self portrait -- a possible "we were there" photo for this year's Christmas card.
1000places > A RIVER CRUISE TO THE AFTERLIFE? - Southeast of Khufu&#8217;s Pyramid, the site resembles an ancient dried-up river port. Five boat pits have been discovered. Two were covered by slabs of limestone, and beneath them were two large, disassembled wooden boats.
GIZA - To keep the Giza sand outside where it belongs, we had to don cloth "footies" while touring the Solar Barque museum. They did add a certain fashion flair.
