EGYPTIAN PYRAMIDS

The fourth place that we visited, was simply wonderful. The best time to visit the Egyptian pyramids is October to April, during these months the climate is moderate. Something that probably will surprise you, is that the pyramids are not, as I expected, lost in the middle of the desert, but in the outskirts of the city of Cairo.  They are in a Gizah , the name of the neighborhood on the other side of the Nile river.  In the photo you can see the famous sphinx and the Kefren pyramid. This pyramid is the second tallest.  The tallest one is Kheops (actually only 2 meters higher).  You can enjoy the numerous historic buildings of the city's many rulers (Arab, Roman, Greek, Turkish, British, French) - spanning over five millennia.  And of course there are the Pyramids and the Sphinx just outside Cairo, in Giza. The Cairo Tower is a good  place to enjoy a panoramic view of the city while sipping a beer in a slowly revolving restaurant
