Walking like an Egyptian Cairo, Egypt

Cairo, Egypt

Most of our "bucket list" items have to do with our 
memories as kids reading National Geographic. 
Seeing pictures of the pyramids all those years 
ago just made us want to go and see them in person.  

Off we go to the land of the Pharaohs!

Welcome to the Kempinski Nile Hotel -
beautiful lobby, beautiful art work throughout. 

Our view of the Nile.

             The Cairo Tower is the most prominent feature of Cairo
     located on Gezira Island in the middle of the Nile River.  It    
     stands 187 meters high and offers a panoramic view of the 
     City of Cairo, the pyramids and the Nile River. 

First stop Cairo Antiquities Museum.  Recently the museum allowed guests to use cameras inside the museum.
A real treat to share pictures of history with everyone. 

Our tour guide to Cairo was Andrew Nabil -
if you are planning a trip to Cairo we highly
 recommend Andrew to show you the sites.
 Thank you Andrew
for making our trip so memorable!
