The Pyramids of Giza

We spent 3 days in Cairo. One afternoon was spent touring the Pyramids of Giza. The pyramids of Giza are the only surviving wonder from the original list of Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The Giza pyramid complex is a historical site containing three large pyramids and their associated structures, including the Great Sphinx. These pyramids were built as tombs for the pharaohs Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom, roughly between 2600 and 2500 BC. There are two main entrances. There is base fee to tour the plateau. If you wish to enter any of the pyramids there is an addition fee per pyramid. We choose to visit the the Great Pyramid of Khufu. Oookay.. so what I failed to mention in my last post is that we were not in Egypt by our lonesome. My parents, my brother, SIL and their 3 children along with another couple friend of theirs and their 2 children were also with us. So this little dude with D is my brother's eldest. I am sure no on...
