The day started early with some nice breakfast rolls at the BCA and a Sakara beer to get us into the right "mood" for the nasty trip in the hot mini bus.
With our professional guide it was a complete different experience. We learned a lot again about the history of the pyramids. Because it was the first day of Eid Adha festival in Egypt, a lot of locals were also at the pyramids which meant that we didn't get buggered that much compared to my last visit. It was scorching hot although we already left at 9am in the morning to visit the site.
I decided to see the chamber inside the great Pyramid... What a disappointment! It was a dark humid room with a noisy fan screaming in the corner. No relicts inside, just a very exhausting long climb inside the pyramid into the chamber.
Nice panorama.
Good old Sphinx, still there... Silently guarding the Giza plateau
That's the guide at the Sakkara site with us. Actually here you can see way cooler and more original things because there are virtually no tourists, it's an active excavation site and with the right guides...
...you are allowed to go "behind the scene" and see some stuff which is locked away.
The ride in the minibus was quite tough. Luckily there were cold drinks.
