No trip to Egypt would be complete without checking out it's most well known landmarks and one of the 7 wonders of the world. I kinda expected the Pyramids to be out in the middle of no-where, but Cairo has expanded so much that they seem to lie just on the cities edge.

You can't deny the fact that the Pyramids are impressive! Anything that is still standing after 5000 years has to be! It makes you wonder what sort of a world it was 5000 years ago that rulers could demand a Pyramid like this to be buried in and actually get it, you couldn't see the same thing happening for Tony Blair or George Bush!

The Sphinx is also pretty cool, a lot smaller than the pyramids, but when you realise that it is all built out of a single block of stone, then once again, you can't help but be impressed.

I think for me, I wasn't going to believe that the Sphinx and Pyramids existed unless I saw them for myself, and now I feel I've ticked another box. Definitely something to be seen, though surprisingly, not my highlight in Egpyt.
