 Panorama of the Pyramids by saraheg77
All my memories of being at the pyramids are fond! I was just glad I had my trusty disposable panorama camera to try to capture some memories =) Don't leave for Egypt without a panorama camera!!! Leave a Comment

 The Old and the New... by kenmerk
As you can see, housing developments have crept right up to the edge of the Giza Plateau. Some say that with the rapid expansion of Cairo, someday they may actually be in the center of the city.... Leave a Comment

 Pyramid of Mycerinus... by kenmerk
Careful if you are claustaphobic, though, the tunnels are narrow, and can be crowded, especially if a whole class of 8 year old Egyptian kids are suddenly released into the entrance. (I know, I experienced this first hand in the Pyramid of Mycerinus....) Leave a Comment

 Scarred Pyramid of Mycerinus by kenmerk
Though their outer casing of polished stone has been stripped away, and the burial treasures inside them robbed, they are still awe inspiring...
Here you can see a deep scar on the north face of the Pyramid of Mycerinus, where attempts to dismantle the Pyramid failed... Leave a Comment

As the most people I believed that the Great Pyramids of Giza lie out in the desert. I was rather surprised when I looked out of the window of my Hotel which was situated in the center of Giza I saw the Pyramids right in front of the city area among the distant buildings. In fact they sit on the city limits of Greater Cairo because Giza is its suburb.
And on the contrary, when you are walking around the Plateau of Giza among the Pyramids you may see Cairo and Giza on a distance. As I read in Michael’s page in 1970-80th it was possible to climb up the Pyramid and admire the Cairo scenery… Now you can’t do it unfortunately. I knew it before visiting the Plateau but was sorry having no opportunity to climb up even 20-30 meters…

 Pyramid Power... by kenmerk
Typically it would be an older white guy wearing tattered clothes and a long gray beard. They would be thumping on what looked to be a Bible, and just wild-eyed as can be chanting away in a tongues...
Seemed to me like the powerful images of this place were maybe a bit much for someone with a frail sense of self.
It is a powerful image to see something so grand which is over 4,500 years old towering above you... (the only real urge I had was to maybe sip on a beer to relieve the dry throat, tho'...) Leave a Comment

Giza or Gizah also sometimes rendered in English as Gizeh, is a city on the West bank of the Nile river, some 20 km southwest of central Cairo and now part of the greater Cairo metropolis. Its name is famous as the location of the Giza Plateau where the most impressive ancient monuments in the world, including the Great Sphinx, the Great Pyramid of Giza, and a number of other pyramids and temples are located.
Giza was part of the ancient city of Memphis, which was inhabited as early as the Second Dynasty. Now its is a suburb of the giant city of Cairo with 5-millions of inhabitants.
The modern city of Giza doesn’t look very pleasant: infinite high stores blocs of flats and dirty canals… But you are ready to forget it when you see the Pyramids!
