Port Suez, Giza & Cairo

We arrived in Port Suez and are in the process of getting ready to transit the Suez Canal. We will go from here to Ismailia, spend a night or two there and then continue to Port Said at the end north end of the Suez Canal. After that we will be crossing the Mediterranean Sea.
Yesterday we traveled by bus to Giza and Cairo for the day to see the pyramids of Cheops, Chephren and Mincerinus, the Sphinx and the Cairo Museum. Another great day viewing ancient wonders.

Typical Red Sea land view

Pyramids in the neighborhood

Of course I had to ride a camel

Not the softest kisses
