See the unfinished building...According to the tour guide, the Egyptians don't have to pay tax as long as they haven't complete building their home, so the "clever" Egyptians thought of a brilliant idea to escape taxes, not to paint their home..and the uppermost level was left abandoned , this is also because next time when their child grown up, they can just simply extend the floor above and live together as a one big whole family.. how brilliant...
As a result, the entire Cairo looks like one piece of unfinished construction site with the dust flying here and there... together with the traffic jams and cars honking sound...
Our first stop is Cairo National Museum , it is where all the mummies and tombs and possessions of the pharaohs placed.. too bad no cameras allowed inside the museum.but something very interesting, there was Ramses condom in the museum, but the problem with this condom is it is not efficiency at all.

Statue of baboon..
Baboon signifies god of sun.. in front of National Museum of Egypt, Cairo

After lunch, we head off to the pyramids. Pyramids is in city of Giza, across the Nile river, in the city of dead. There are 9 pyramids in total, 3 come in different sizes, S, M ,L and the other 6 is small pyramids.
Khufu pyramids is known as the world largest pyramid. It is magnificient, so acute and so historical... it is Le-----wait for it... wait for it...... it's coming.... Gendary!!!!
A sneak peak of the pyramid.This is the M size one.
See the world largest pyramid, easy job for me.. I easily reach the top..
The pyramids are build from this limestones. See the lime stone, each cut at almost the same size, so acute, so sharp and so straight. I wonder, how could they carry so heavy blocks of stones and stack it so high up 5000 years ago?? mystery unsolved..
Posers in front of the pyramids. See it seems so rough, it is because the outer layer slough off due to the wind and natural factors.
Nothing to do, camel ride too expensive so act cute lor...
Small and big one together..
3 pyramids at a row..
Entering a small pyramid. the stairs are real steep and watch your head while you enter..
On my way down. it's kinda deep.
Finally reach the bottom. actually it's nothing below.
but blocks of stones, dust, stones dust and stones....
This is tomb of the architect who designed the pyramids and his little boy.. the architect to be.. according to the tour guide, he is the man ... the man who killed billions of people building the pyramids.
Another sexy shot of pyramids.. this is the khufu pyramid, largest in the world.
Acting cute... the sphinx, believed to be the guidance of the pyramids.
See..the front view of the sphinx..
Giza city as a whole..
With our tour guide...
That's all for Cairo, last place Alexandria trip coming up... stay tuned..
