Cairo

The roads are insane in Cairo; there's no rules - well the streets have lines to indicate lanes but those are mostly ignored. Sometimes two cars share a lane. My cab driver was doing 120mph (NOT kilometres) and he was the slow guy. Must take getting used to.

It was late at night when my plane landed. My hotel was in Giza and as the cab drove to the resort, I caught a glimpse of the outline of a huge angular object against the dark sky. It was a pyramid - Khufu to be exact. I was truly in awe and will never forget that moment.

The next evening I went the Sound and Light at the Giza Plateau. It was on the corny side, but hey it's the only surviving ancient wonder of the world. Below are some snaps.
