Giza Light Show

There is something very comforting about being engulfed in the dessert at night, as the sun begins to set, the temperature drops and the wind whips through the Sahara after an extremely hot day. The sand kicks up with a bit of dust, and all you want is to relax after a long day of sightseeing and trekking throughout Egypt. Nothing is more delightful than an evening spent watching the Plateau of Giza come to life with lights and lasers under the night sky.The Sphinx narrates the 7000 years of history, as the three pyramids are lit up in a myriad of colors, and what makes it that more elegant is enjoying a glass of wine while listening to the resounding voice of the Sphinx commentating on ancient events.

Museum of Egyptian Antiquities

Sean and Tony have arrived in Cairo, and after a long flight the boys are rested and have begun checking out the ancient sites of this Nile Delta civilization. First on their list is a trip to the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, commonly known as the Museum of Cairo, which houses the world’s largest collection of Pharaonic antiquities.

A splendid array of sculptures are on display, as you move throughout the gallery from the New Kingdom {1550 to 1069 BC}, and then onto the final two dynasties with many artifacts from the Valley of the Kings. Artifacts from Thutmosis III & IV, Tutankhamun, and my absolute favorite Hatshepsut {the longest reigning female pharaoh in Egypt}.

The team are transmitting photos as I write this post so, enjoy perusing through the gallery in Cairo!
