Pyramid Day!
We started today by going to the Giza Plateau to see the sphinx and the pyramids. While there, we went to the Cheops Boat Museum and then had lunch at the Pizza Hut across the street. We went to a Papyrus Institute on the way to Memphis. After Memphis we went to the Imhotep Museum, two desert tombs, and the step pyramid at Sakkarah. On the way back to dinner we went to a carpet school.
